Claudio Reyna had one chance to play in the Copa America and what a memory it was for the New York City FC Sporting Director.
Fresh off playing for the United States national team at the 1994 FIFA World Cup, a young Reyna was on Steve Sampson’s side that competed in the 1995 Copa America in Uruguay.
“I grew up watching that tournament and being a fan of Copa America. It was really exciting getting a chance to play in one,” Reyna said. “It’ s a special memory. Just to see those teams up close in South America was, at the time, my first experience at that.
