CHESTER, Pa. (November 30, 2020) – The Philadelphia Union, in conjunction with U.S. Soccer, announced today that Brenden Aaronson and Mark McKenzie have been called up to the United States Men’s National Team for a friendly match vs. El Salvador in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida on December 9. This follows the Philadelphia Union’s historic 2020 season and Supporters’ Shield victory, the first trophy for the club, in which Aaronson and McKenzie were both regular starters and contributors.
The pair, both named to the 2020 MLS Best XI team, were most recently selected to the final roster for the Concacaf Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Guadalajara, Mexico last March, that was subsequently postponed due to health and safety reasons.
