The U.S. men’s national team’s quest to lift a third CONCACAF Nations League title resumes in eight days and head coach Gregg Berhalter announced his final roster for the upcoming Final Four in Arlington, Texas.
Tyler Adams, Weston McKennie, and Josh Sargent headlined Berhalter’s 23-player roster for March 21st’s semifinal match vs. Jamaica. Sergino Dest, who is suspended for the semifinal tie, is also on the roster, as well as star attackers Christian Pulisic and Gio Reyna.
“The objective ahead of us is clear. We want to compete for our third Nations League title and continue to challenge ourselves to succeed in knockout round matches,” Berhalter said. “This is a group of players with a lot of experience in these types of matches and we look forward to the opportunity.”
Both Adams and Sargent will be seeking their first USMNT caps since featuring at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Adams recently returned to action for Bournemouth’s development squad after a hamstring injury forced him to miss most of the first half of the season.
Sargent has enjoyed a stellar club campaign with Norwich City, scoring 10 of his overall 12 goals this season in 2024. He also missed time during the first half of the season through injury.
Haji Wright and John Brooks were among the players not called in for USMNT duty despite delivering positive club seasons to date.
A total of 21 of the 23 players called into March duty have been part of at least one of the USMNT’s two Nations League winning squads (2021, 2023). Dest, Pulisic, Reyna McKennie, Yunus Musah, Tim Weah, and Antonee Robinson have all been part of both title lifts.
Jamaica will oppose the USMNT at AT&T Stadium in Texas, with the winner advancing to March 24th’s final against either Mexico or Panama.
“Of all the times that we had to pick squads, this was probably the most difficult squad we’ve had to pick due to the nature of the competition, or the level that players are performing at and the depth we have in our national team pool now,” Berhalter said.
