Colorado Rapids midfielder Djordje Mihailovic, FC Cincinnati defender Miles Robinson, and Nashville defender Walker Zimmerman have been named as the key players in the 18-player roster for the United States men's Olympic team by manager Marko Mitrovic. The men's Olympic soccer tournament is limited to players under the age of 23, with three 'overage' players allowed, filled by Mihailovic, Robinson, and Zimmerman. The rest of the roster consists of players born on or after Jan. 1, 2001.
This year's tournament in Paris marks the first time the U.S. men have qualified for the Olympics since 2008. The roster also includes midfielders Gianluca Busio and Tanner Tessmann, who played crucial roles in Venezia's promotion to Italy's Serie A last season.
