In this article, we will tell you who the top scorers in the history of the Copa America are and which active players have a chance to lead the ranking.
The 2024 Copa America began on Thursday, June 20, with Argentina's victory over Canada. National teams from all over America will compete to win the trophy in the 48th edition. Throughout its 107-year history, this tournament has had great champions and showcased some of the greatest scorers of all time, which we will review below.
Eduardo Vargas (34 years old) will lead the ranking if he manages to score four goals in the current edition of the Copa America, in which he is part of the Chilean national team's roster.
The same situation applies to Paolo Guerrero of Peru. If the 40-year-old forward manages to score four goals in this edition, he will become the all-time top scorer in the history of the Copa America.
Lionel Messi has accumulated 13 goals in all his Copa America appearances, a tournament he has been competing in since the 2007 edition. The Argentine will need to score five goals to surpass his compatriot Norberto Méndez and lead the all-time top scorers' table in the tournament. Messi, who already lifted the trophy in 2021 and was runner-up in 2007, 2015, and 2016, will attempt to win the tournament again with the Argentine national team in what is speculated to be his last appearance in the Copa America.
