Jurgen Klinsmann names 26-man roster for November World Cup Qualifiers

U.S. Men’s National Team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann has named 26 players to the roster that will train in advance of the opening matches of Final Round Qualifying for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. The Final Round, also known as the “Hex”,begins with USA-Mexico, presented by AT&T, on Nov. 11 in Columbus, Ohio.

For the third time in five World Cup qualifying cycles dating back to 2001, the MNT begins the Final Round with a home match against Mexico. The biggest game on U.S. soil every four years requires the team’s best, and Klinsmann has responded by bringing the strongest squad available.
