Copa America provisional squads include 58 from Liga MX & 54 from MLS

The Liga MX and Major League Soccer are the leagues with the most players on provisional rosters for the 16 countries playing in the Copa America Centenario next month.

A total of 58 players from Liga MX and 54 from MLS were included among the names on the 40-man provisional squads handed into the organizing committee last week. The teams must trim their squads to 23 by May 20 with only Brazil having announced its final squad thus far.

The competition, which is celebrating the 100-year anniversary of the formation of CONMEBOL, will take place for the first time outside of South America and will be held across the United States from June 3-26.
