Caleb Wiley named to U.S. roster for U-20 World Cup

It’s official: Caleb Wiley is headed to the U-20 World Cup.

Mikey Varas named his 21-player squad on Wednesday afternoon, and Wiley will be a part of the group headed to Argentina. Tournament play begins on May 20 in Argentina.

It’s the next step in the growing profile of Wiley, an Academy product that eventually worked his way into the ATL UTD 2 lineup as he appeared 33 times in 2020 and 2021. In January 2022, he signed a Homegrown Player deal, later scoring on his MLS debut against Sporting Kansas City. He has appeared in all 11 matches for Atlanta this year (starting 10) while registering 3 goals and 2 assists.
