The three Timbers players will compete against one another when Canada and Peru face off in a group stage match set to kickoff at 3 p.m. (Pacific) June 25 at Children's Mercy Park in Kansas City, Kansas.
Araujo, who was first called up to the Peru Men's National Team in 2014, will compete in his third Copa América tournament, also representing La Bicolor in 2019 and 2021. Crépeau and Miller will be part of Canada's first-ever Copa América squad.
Crépeau, 30, has made 17 appearances (16 starts) for the Canadian Men's National Team.

Miller, 27, has made 43 appearances (38 starts) for the Canadian Men's National Team, tallying three assists.
