With both the U.S. Men’s National Team summer Concacaf tournaments in the rearview mirror and with the 2024 Summer Olympics nearly a year away and it’s time for the U-23 U.S. Men’s National Team to focus on how they build a team for a deep run in the tournament. The U-23 USMNT qualified for the 2024 Olympics by winning the 2022 CONCACAF U-20 Championship played last June and July
It will be a great opportunity to incorporate some of the USMNT players who have already been part of the senior team along with some of the U-20 players who help that team qualify and play at the 2023 U-20 World Cup into building a quality and competitive Olympic roster, which will hopefully build and identify players needed to grow the depth and experience heading into the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
