Tyler Adams has been congratulated by Leeds United vice-chairman Paraag Marathe, following the announcement he will captain the USMNT at the World Cup. US boss Coach Gregg Berhalter is reported to have left the decision in the hands of his players, allowing them to all vote individually, with Adams then chosen to wear the armband in the Middle East.
Beginning their Group B campaign with a clash against Wales at the Al Rayyan Stadium, Marathe took time to congratulate the 23-year-old on his latest achievement.
Marathe said: "On behalf of all the Board of Directors at Leeds United, but especially those of us over in the US, we want to congratulate Tyler Adams on being named Captain of the USMNT for the 2022 World Cup.
