We know the United States Men’s National Team has a roster for the upcoming World Cup qualifying window. After that window, 12 USMNT players will begin their quest to hoist the UEFA Champions League trophy.

Today, the Champions League draw took place, and the 12 USMNT players who are on clubs that will be in the group stage learned their fate of who they will face. The 12 Americans that are currently on Champions League clubs:

Brenden Aaronson - Red Bull Salzburg ( they compete in the Champions League as FC Salzburg due to ownership restrictions)

Tyler Adams - RB Leipzig

John Brooks - Wolfsburg

Jordan Pefok - Young Boys

Tim Weah - Lille

Owen Otasowie - Club Brugge

It’s rare to have players on so many clubs, but it makes it fun for fans of the USMNT to be able to have some rooting interests spread out among the 32 teams.
