The 2024 Summer Olympics are here, and while the Games’ Opening Ceremonies are set for Friday, July 26, the competitions officially get underway Wednesday. The U.S. Men’s National Team U-23 squad takes center stage against the host nation of France in men’s soccer on the opening day of play in Group A. As is customary at the Summer Games, some of the soccer matches take place outside of the host city, and Wednesday’s matchup is in Marseille.
As mentioned, men’s soccer at the Olympics is contested by U-23 squads, with three exceptions for players older than 23. For the USMNT, those players are Walker Zimmerman (31), Miles Robinson (27) and Djordje Mihailovic (25) on Marko Mitrović’s squad. Here’s a look at the whole roster for Team USA, which is back in the Summer Olympics in men’s soccer for the first time since 2008. The USMNT has never medaled, but did finish fourth at the 2000 Summer Games in Sydney.
