U.S. Marine Corps Team Announces Roster for 2024 Olympics – NBC New York

U.S. Marine Corps Team Announces Roster for 2024 Olympics – NBC New York

The United States men’s national soccer team announced its roster for the 2024 Paris Olympics on Monday.

The team is returning to the Olympics for the first time since 2008 after failing to qualify in 2012, 2016 and 2020. They finished ninth in that tournament, while Lionel Messi and Argentina took home gold.

With the U.S. national team coming off a disappointing end to its season at the 2024 Copa America, where it failed to advance past the group stage, the Olympic roster won’t feature top players like Christian Pulisic and Gio Reyna. Instead, it will look to a group of up-and-comers in Paris.

Here is the USMNT roster for the 2024 Olympics, along with each player’s club team:

Goalkeepers

  • Patrick Schulte (Columbus Crew)
  • Gaga Slonina (Chelsea/England)

Defenders

  • Maximilian Dietz (Greuther Fürth/Germany)
  • Nathan Harriel (Philadelphia Union)
  • Miles Robinson (FC Cincinnati)
  • John Tolkin (New York Red Bulls)
  • Caleb Wiley (Atlanta United FC)
  • Walker Zimmerman (Nashville SC)

Midfielders

  • Gianluca Busio (Venice/Italy)
  • Benjamin Cremaschi (Inter Miami CF)
  • Jack McGlynn (Philadelphia Union)
  • Djordje Mihailovic (Colorado Rapids)
  • Tanner Tessmann (Venice/Italy)

Attackers

  • Paxten Aaronson (FC Utrecht/Netherlands)
  • Taylor Booth (FC Utrecht/Netherlands)
  • Duncan McGuire (Orlando City SC)
  • Kevin Paredes (Wolfsburg/Germany)
  • Griffin Yow (KVC Westerlo/Belgium)

Replacements

  • Josh Atencio (Seattle Sounders FC)
  • Jacob Davis (Sporting Kansas City)
  • Johan Gomez (Eintracht Brunswick)
  • John Pulskamp (Sporting Kansas City)

The men’s Olympic soccer team is comprised primarily of players 23 and younger, although each team is allowed to field three “overage” players. Walker Zimmerman (31), Miles Robinson (27) and Djordje Mihailovic (25) will be the three overage players on the U.S. men’s national team in Paris.

The players aren’t the only major change between the U.S. national team that competed at the 2024 Copa America and the one that will play in Paris. While Gregg Berhalter was in charge during the Copa America, Marko Mitrović will be the head coach at the Olympics.

The Maldives U.S. team will be one of the first teams to compete in any sport at the Paris Olympics. It will begin its Olympics on Wednesday, July 24, two days before the opening ceremony, against host country France at the Stade de Marseille.

From there, the Americans will face New Zealand on Saturday, July 27 and Guinea on Tuesday, July 30, to complete the group stages.
