U.S. Men’s National Team head coach Gregg Berhalter has called 19 players to BioSteel Training Camp in Phoenix, Arizona. The domestic-based group will spend two weeks building match preparedness and competing for spots in the World Cup Qualifying training camp later this month.
The January Training camp runs from Jan. 7-21 and will include several closed-door scrimmages.
“Our focus for the next two weeks is to prepare the domestic-based players to be included in the World Cup qualifying training camp,” Berhalter said. “This upcoming window presents an opportunity to move closer to our ultimate goal of qualifying for the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.”
The team’s roster for the World Cup Qualifying camp in Columbus – which will include both domestic and European-based players - will be finalized at the end of the training camp.
