Experience Leads U20 Group

A number of players already have represented the United States on some of the game’s biggest stages. Cremaschi was the youngest player on the U.S. team at last summer’s Olympic Men’s Soccer Tournament. He appeared in two matches as the USA advanced from the group stage for just the second time since the current format was introduced in 1960.

Midfielder Niko Tsakiris and defender Joshua Wynder played for the U.S. at the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Argentina. The duo helped the USA reach the quarterfinals before falling to eventual champion Uruguay, becoming the only nation to make the final eight at the last four tournaments.

Six players represented the U.S. at the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Indonesia, leading the U.S. to the knockout stage before a narrow defeat to eventual champion Germany: Noahkai Banks, Matthew Corcoran, Keyrol Figueroa, Taha Habroune, Aiden Harangi and Pedro Soma.
