Obed Vargas has officially been named to the United States men’s U-20 World Cup roster, making him the squad’s youngest player and one of just three who will still be eligible for the 2025 tournament.
Vargas, who remains eligible to represent Mexico, has previously made four youth national team appearances for the United States. He is likely the first player born in Alaska to make a U-20 World Cup roster.
The U-20 World Cup was recently moved to Argentina and will run from May 20-June 11, and Vargas is among the players who have already reported to training camp.
