Edited May 26, 2015– Diego Alves (Valencia) ruled out with ACL injury
Edit May 12, 2015– Dunga originally named a 23 member squad on May 5, but added seven more names on May 12, 2015 to make it a thirty member squad.
Brazil manager Dunga has today (May 5, 2015) named his squad for the upcoming 2015 Copa America tournament in Chile, but his 23 member team has no place for both Oscar and Dani Alves. Dunga said that injury was the reason for Oscar missing out, adding that he had talked to Jose Mourinho about the playmaker’s recovery chances, and has assessed that he wouldn’t be in the best condition for the tournament.
There are four Premiership based players in Brazil’s 23 member Copa squad- Fernandinho, Willian, Filipe Luis and Philippe Coutinho
Seven names added on May 12, 2015
Neto (Fiorentina), Gil (Corinthians), Felipe Anderson (Lazio), Fred (Shakhtar Donetsk), Rafael Alcantara (Barcelona), Kaka (Orlando City), Leandro Damiao (Cruzeiro)

Forwards: Douglas Costa (Shakhtar Donetsk), Roberto Firmino (Hoffenheim), Neymar (Barcelona), Robinho (Santos), Diego Tardelli (Shandong Luneng)
Lovely Team,,,,,,,,U can win the title,,,,,, But Ronaldinho????
we like the brazil team but where is the skillful sandro of f.c porto, and hulk ?brazil desparately needed these 2 big, inform players for the copa america 2015
Diego Alves OUT. DUNGA must recall CESAR who is in excellent form for BENFICA.
Nice team selection……
I love brazil team, there pay wonderful…naymar, oscar, kaka ar big plyers.
I hope Brazil team WIN copa america 2015. best of luck.
Kaka is back!!!!
Thank god…
What is his position?
My most admired football team in the world is Brazil. Even against my own country i will support Brazil for a have a right to choice. I like Neymar, Miranda, Coutinho and most of those selected for the Copa America cup.
This is the most deadly first eleven for the Selecao: Goalie Jefferson, defenders: Miranda, Marcelo, Thiago, & Danilo. Midfielders: Coutinho, Luiz Gustavo,& Willian. Attackers: Firmino, Filipe Anderson and Neymar. This is the most significant conglomeration of players for the team. David Luiz is very risky. Diego Terdeli, and Fernandinho are suffering from age infringment which does not give them a future with the team. NB. Filipe Anderson is a king pin to be explored fully in this tornament.
If DUNGA thinks he will want to conquer Argentina with the type of squad Tata Martino has summoned for the summer games then he should do nothing shot of putting up a complete team like this one above. Those players from obscure clubs should be merely substitutes. Check the Argentine selection for this cup and you will think twice. I believe DUNGA will do as he did in test matches.
Why is oscar out of squad?
Iam always happier to see Oscar and Neymar playing togather but now Dunga left Oscar out why?
oscar is injured but the problem is dani alves whats wrong with dunga?
Coach Dugan,why should you leave Dani Alves & Lucas Mura out of this tournament ?? They are very good player to watch in that tournament.
Oscar is back… plize
ithink dunga will win the copa america but why he left lucas moura?
kaka should play in starting 11.. he is great and experienced player
Where is the biggest player in the word…….that is ronaldinho…….
This time is Neymar
i think Brazil need Oscar,Dani alves,Hulk and Lucas because without them the them look odd.
kaka is a great player
pleas let him play
i think kaka and ronaldinho gives the team to more powerfull
Gk:Diego Alvie’s
Defenders:David Luis,Thiago silva,Marcelo,Maicon and did you leave dani Alves out
Midfielders:coutinho, kaka, Gustavo, Willian,and why did you leave Ramires andlucas moura out
Forwards:Neymar and Robinho
Brazil can win without oscar… But without dani alves they wil strugle they wont get enough square passes
firmino the future MAN UTD star GOOD LUCK!
injured
Brazil still doing good
oscar should be in..why is he left out…and great thanks to roberto firmino hope u come to united this summer..
with out Ronaldinho no cup for Brazil make this words Dunga don’t know what his doing
with out Ronaldinhno copa for barzil trust me and make this word
Dunga must have wished he has picked JULIO CESAR. The current keeper is not in sync with the defence and look shaky when under pressure. CESAR must come out of retirement.
Ronaldinho a skillful player is out of copa that’s ridicules that’s the main drawback of Brazil team in world cup 2014 as well as the team which will play for future not allowing the skillful players,,,,………this will lead to more drawbacks only,,,,,,, mind dungaa uu bloody…….
please keep kaka always in the squad
