Roster details
Fourteen players called in hail from Major League Soccer clubs (two out on loan), including a leading four from the Philadelphia Union. Among them are Philadelphia homegrown midfielder Paxten Aaronson, who won the Concacaf U-20 Championship’s Golden Ball as the tournament’s top player and the Golden Boot as the tournament’s top scorer.
Varas' squad has 14 players from the title-winning group, which booked 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup and the 2024 Olympics spots. Some newcomers are D.C. United homegrown product Kevin Paredes (Wolfsburg) and FC Dallas homegrown product Justin Che (Hoffenheim) – both of whom now compete in the German Bundesliga.
