Since the rebranding of the Kansas City Wizards into Sporting KC, there has been a push for the team to be a presence with the US national team. Whether it’s been at the full national team level with Matt Besler and Graham Zusi, who have the most caps for their national team while playing with KC, to the likes of Erik Palmer-Brown, Jon Kempin, Gianluca Busio, and others at the youth national team level. KC has regularly had a presence with the US team. That presence has started to become less prevalent, especially over the last year.
