Roster highlights

The US roster features those from 11 MLS clubs, including two from the Philadelphia Union: defender Nathan Harriel and midfielder Jack McGlynn.

That duo has shined in the Audi 2023 MLS Cup Playoffs, as have defender John Tolkin (New York Red Bulls), midfielder Joshua Atencio (Seattle Sounders FC) and forward Bernard Kamungo (FC Dallas).

They're only 18 years old, but midfielder Benjamin Cremaschi (Inter Miami CF) and forward Esmir Bajraktarevic (New England Revolution) hope to state their case.

Olympics rundown

The US men have reached the Summer Olympics for the first time since 2008, qualifying after a dominant performance at the 2022 Concacaf U-20 Championship in Honduras.

The Olympic roster is restricted to players under the age of 23, with an allowance for three overage players. Players born on or after January 1, 2001 are age-eligible.
