Uruguay

The Uruguay Football Association was founded on March 30, 1900. It has participated in 41 editions of the Copa America tournament, winning a record 15 times.

Technical director: Oscar Tabarez

He was born on March 3, 1947 in Montevideo, and took charge of the national team on March 8, 2006. He is one of the most experienced team coaches in the world. The ‘Maestro’ has 35 years of experience as team coach and, among his achievements, he won the Copa Libertadores, an Argentine League, and the Copa America. In 2011, the IFFHS chose him the world’s best national coach.

Edinson Cavani, the Icon

Born on February 14, 1987 in Salto, Edinson Cavani is an incredible goalscorer. Despite his partner Luis Suarez not playing in this tournament, Uruguay have great chances to score on his feet. In 2013, Edinson Cavani was the top scorer in the Italian Serie A and also was nominated to the Golden Ball award. He is part of Paris Saint Germain in France. Furthermore, he won the Copa America 2011.

Jamaica

The Jamaica Football Federation was founded in 1910, and will participate in the Copa America tournament for the first time as invited guest from the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF).

Head coach: Winfried Schaefer

He was born on January 10, 1950 in Mayen, Germany, and took charge of the national team on July 18, 2013.

During 2002, he won the African Nations Cup with Cameroon national team, he reached the Confederations Cup final with ‘The Indomitable Lions’, and he also managed them in the World Cup Finals. He coached Karlsruher (Germany), Al Ahli and Al Ain (United Arab Emirates), Baku (Azerbaijan), and the Thailand national team.

Wes Morgan, the Icon

Born on Januray 21, 1984 in Nottingham, England, Wes Morgan is the current captain of Leicester City in the English Premier League. The right-footed player combines speed with power in order to be one of the most important defenders in England’s Premier League. Although he has played for only two years in his national team, today he is an irreplaceable element for the Caribbean team.
