The CONCACAF Olympic men’s soccer qualifying tournament was postponed due to the coronavirus to an unspecified date, pushing back the U.S.’ bid to qualify for the Games for the first time since 2008.
The tournament was scheduled March 20-April 1 in Guadalajara, Mexico, include the top nations from North and Central America.
The U.S., which already named its roster, hopes to grab one of the last two Olympic men’s soccer berths for the 16-team Olympic tournament.
Once the tournament is rescheduled, the Americans must finish first or second in their group against CONCACAF power Mexico, Costa Rica (which usually qualifies for the World Cup but hasn’t been to an Olympics since 2004) and the Dominican Republic.
