THE BIGGER PICTURE

For the Olympic Games, men's soccer rosters are limited to 18-persons, with it being a near strict U23 policy. However, teams are allowed to have four alternates, meaning squad sizes of 22 will be called up. Additionally, mens teams are allowed to call in three overage players above 23-years-old to bolster their roster and add a sense of leadership to what will be a relatively young squad.

DID YOU KNOW?

The squad has two upcoming friendlies during the international window starting next week, with the marquee matchup coming on March 25. They'll clash with France, who will be led by Thierry Henry on the touchline. Three days prior, they'll take on Guinea.
