Held each January, this camp allows the USMNT coaching staff to more closely analyze up-and-coming players – often young talent from MLS since all 29 teams remain in offseason mode. Conversely, European players are in-season and traditionally aren’t called up because the camp falls outside an official FIFA window.
With a blend of youngsters and veterans, the USMNT will defend back-to-back Concacaf Nations League titles in March, then compete in the 2024 Copa América and the 2024 Olympic Games this summer.
Roster notes
MLS Cup 2023 winners Columbus Crew have three players on the roster, as do 2023 Supporters Shield winners FC Cincinnati.
Fifteen players have earned their first USMNT call-up and 17 players are chasing their first senior-team appearance. Additionally, 13 players are age-eligible for the Olympics.
The most experienced player is newly-signed FC Cincinnati center back Miles Robinson, followed by Nashville SC right back Shaq Moore and New York City FC midfielder/defender James Sands.
Orlando City SC striker Duncan McGuire and Columbus Crew midfielder Aidan Morris are among the rising stars after respectively finishing second and third in the 2023 MLS Young Player of the Year voting.
Atlanta United left back Caleb Wiley, Philadelphia Union midfielder Jack McGlynn, Real Salt Lake midfielder Diego Luna and San Jose Earthquakes forward Cade Cowell were all key players at last year's FIFA U-20 World Cup.
