**Team Squads**
CF America boasts some standout players who have been pivotal to their campaign thus far. Henry Martin, a key striker, has been finding the back of the net with regularity, his keen eye for goal being a constant threat. Diego Valdes, orchestrating from the midfield, has been a vital cog in their setup, ensuring fluidity and creativity. Jonathan Dos Santos, with his wealth of experience, provides stability and leadership, while Alex Zendejas adds flair and dynamism to their attack.

Edgar Barcenas, with his tireless work rate, brings energy and drive to their midfield. Up front, Nicolas Benedetti has been instrumental, often being the difference-maker with his knack for critical goals. Jair Diaz’s defensive presence will also be crucial in stemming America’s attacking tide. Unfortunately, Ventura Alvarado and Mauro Lainez are unavailable, leaving gaps in defense and attack that need addressing.
