St. Louis CITY SC defender Kyle Hiebert earned a spot on the 26-man Canadian Men’s National Team roster for the 2024 CONMEBOL Copa America. This is Hiebert’s second career call-up to a major tournament roster since the 2023 Concacaf Nationals League Tournament.
Canada is set to play the reigning FIFA World Cup™ _and CONMEBOL Copa América champions Argentina on Thursday 20 June at 20:00 ET / 17:00 PT in the debut match of the 2024 edition of the tournament at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
