Anthony Hudson announced the pre-call of forty players for the Nations League Final Four.
Following a disappointing exit in the Round of 16 at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the United States national team began a new cycle under the guidance of assistant coach Anthony Hudson, aiming toward the 2026 World Cup. The plan involves co-hosting the event with Mexico and Canada, and features a blend of established stars and emerging talents as a generational transition unfolds.
Hudson released this Friday the preliminary list of players invited to compete in the Final Four of the Concacaf Nations League, where the United States is set to meet Mexico in the semi-finals.
Among the selections, the inclusion of Alejandro Zendejas and Alan Soñora, both well-known Liga MX players with Club América and FC Juárez respectively, drew particular attention.
