NEWS: Bolivia veteran Jaime Moreno says it is an honour to be called up by Bolivia to play in the Copa America.
The 33-year-old had not appeared for his country for five years before coach Erwin Sanchez (pictured above) played him for 45 minutes in a friendly against Ireland last month.
But now, according to Moreno’s club DC United, the former Middlesbrough striker (right) has been selected to play in Venezuela when the tournament begins on June 26.
Moreno said: “I am truly honoured to once again have the opportunity to play for Bolivia in a prestigious tournament like the Copa America.
“I’ve worked hard the last couple of years to earn this opportunity to get back on the national team. I am looking forward to playing in this tournament and doing my best to help my team-mates on and off of the field.”
CopaAmerica07.com will publish the full squad as soon as possible.
