CHICAGO (March 1, 2021)—U.S. Under-23 Men’s National Team head coach Jason Kreis has called 31 players to a training camp ahead of the Concacaf Men’s Olympic Qualifying Championship in Guadalajara, Mexico.

 

The U-23 USMNT will train together in Mexico before Kreis selects the final 20-player tournament roster later this month. The USA kicks off Olympic qualifying Thursday, March 18 vs. Costa Rica at 5 p.m. ET, faces Dominican Republic on Sunday, March 21 at 7 p.m. ET and wraps up the group stage vs. Mexico on Wednesday, March 24 at 9:30 p.m. ET. All three U.S. group stage games will be broadcast on FS1 and TUDN.

 

“We’re excited to finally return to Guadalajara ahead of the Olympic qualifying tournament,” Kreis said. “A lot has changed since March 2020, but we’ve seen our player pool grow and gain invaluable experience over the last year. We’re looking forward to a few weeks of preparation ahead of the tournament and we’re thankful for the cooperation of the clubs in releasing their players for this very important training camp. I'm confident that the group we’ve assembled can achieve our ultimate goal of qualifying for the Olympics in Tokyo.”

The training camp roster features 15 players who have been capped by the senior USMNT and 16 who have played at a youth World Cup.

 

A total of 14 players were a part of the USMNT’s gameday roster against Trinidad and Tobago last month, a 7-0 victory. Defenders George Bello and Aaron Herrera as well as midfielders Andrés Perea and Tanner Tessmann earned their senior team debuts, while forwards Jesús Ferreira and Jonathan Lewis netted their first full international goals. Prior to the match, 18 players took part in the U-23 USMNT’s January training camp. All but six players have been involved with the USMNT program since it returned to action in Nov. 2020.

 

The Olympic qualifying tournament was originally scheduled for March 2020 but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Players born on or after Jan. 1, 1997 are age-eligible for the competition, and Kreis selected 13 players born in 1997, five born in 1998, one born in 1999, four born in 2000, six born in 2001, one born in 2002 and one born in 2003 for the training camp.

 

The tournament features eight nations divided into two groups of four teams. The top two finishers in each group will advance to the pivotal semifinals that will send two winners to the Olympics in Tokyo as representatives of Concacaf. The two winners will also meet in the final on March 30.
