I wouldn't count on another camp. Last cycle we got one roughly around this time ahead of qualifiers roughly around the same time as they will be this year. With that said, U.S. Soccer didn't directly say this will be the last camp before qualifying, so I guess we'll see.
Since it is at least possible that we don't get another "U20" camp before qualifying, here's everyone (I think; please correct me if wrong) who has been called in under (EDIT/clarification) the U19/2007 banner since the end of the last FIFA cycle: Albert Mathis Applewhite Christopher Baiera Andrew "Drew" Berchimas Nimfasha Brown Tristan Brunell Snyder Campagnolo Zackory Chong-Qui Dominic Clark Mateo Contreras Jaidyn Cupps Christopher De Almeida Nicholas De Marzi Giorgio Dills Marvin Dunham Braden Ellis Justin Gonzalez Gustavo Guske Colin Hamouda Ramiz Hezarkhani Aidan Izoita Eric Lane James Magana Jr. Jose McPartlin Lucas Miller Harbor Molinaro Jacob Morales Santiago Mussenden Javaun Perez Axel Pierre Neil Pinter Daniel Pita Santiago Pymm Jack Ramos Jr. Ruben Randell Darius Rizvanovich Kayne Robbana Omar Sanchez Cooper Shore Jonathan Smith Jackson Stokes Aidan Sullivan Cavan Swan Colton Torquato Joshua Torres Ervin Ukaegbu Chibuike Vanney Dylan Willey Blake I don't see this as the "full" current pool for qualifying given a number of notable omissions and since we are still calling up eligible players who I assume will be considered into other YNT groups. It's just a starting point!
I don't know exactly why the US is not at Toulon. We may or may not have been invited. Mexico, normally there, is not there this time. Canada is. Our U20s are playing older U21 teams in Bulgaria instead. They beat Georgia 1-0, and they play North Macedonia's U21s tomorrow.
Segares told me that this June camp was the last camp before U-20 World Cup qualifying. Unless they found a way to put together another one last minute, tomorrow's friendly is the final prep before U-20 qualifying.
I think you can pick what I think would be a pretty solid U20 qualifying roster that is made up entirely of domestic-based players who were born only in 2007 or 2008 and without Hall or Gozo. I'm not saying those are the rules Segares will face, but I think it's useful to add some structure since there's always more going on in the background than may be readily apparent.
Quite a few guys really impressed me today. Hamouda, Brunell, Dills, Ellis, Morales, Dunham, Guske. Made a good impression, this being the final camp/match before qualifying gets underway. Just looked over the roster again, and I don't think Neil Pierre played at all today. Wonder if he picked up a knock?
Just for kicks I drew up a possible U20 qualifying roster. This is NOT meant as a prediction or my preferences or even informed speculation -- basically I looked at callups and made my best guesses at how guys might be used and tried to come up with something more or less representative but with the (maybe) artificial limitations of 1) domestic only 2) 97/98 YOBs only and 3) some of the higher-profile guys unavailable. GK (3): Campagnolo, Stokes, McPartlin D (6): Brown, Chong-Qui, Cupps, Dunham, Miller, Pierre M (6): Brunell, Guske, Morales, Sanchez, Shore, Terry F (6): Adams, Berchimas, Hezarkhani, Ellis, Swan, Ramos
@bshredder said in the U-20 CONCACAF Championships thread that he has heard US Soccer would like to release the roster next Tuesday, but it could be delayed by release issues.
I don't know f he's part of the US U-20 squad, U-23, or All-World Forever team, but Adri Mehmeti appeared on CNBC Fast Money. Not much to see here, but he reveals some of his motivations. https://www.cnbc.com/video/2026/07/...ed-u-s-interest-in-soccer-amid-world-cup.html
He said he wasn't involved because of school & soccer. They also asked about prediction markets (snicker).
I haven't updated the column that tracks pro contracts in a while, but here's my U20 tracker updated for the qualifying roster. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lfMvt087D65kHEJtitNuODh4dPgpKCQTi6Ae9VJ2c0g/edit?usp=sharing Certainly several talking points here, and hopefully follow-up reporting gets into some of the more obvious absences, as well as a few of the interesting inclusions that probably most of us wouldn't have predicted.
