The United States Men's National Soccer Team has named its squad of predominantly under-23 players ahead of a trip to Paris for the Olympics.
The USMNT has two Olympic medals, but they were both in the 1904 games in which only three teams participated, two of which were from the States. Neither of the American teams earned the gold medal in those games.
Marko Mitrovic, the head coach of the United States Men's Olympic team, has selected two over-age players in his 18-man squad.

Marko Mitrovic is the head coach of the United States under-23 men's national team, and he will lead the team in the Olympics.
Mitrovic coached in his native Serbia before moving to the United States in 2016 to work as an assistant under then-Chicago Fire head coach Veljko Paunovic. He then followed Petrovic to Reading in England before coming back to the States to work for US Soccer.

Home side France is led by over-age forwards Alexandre Lacazette and Jean-Philippe Mateta. Guinea has former Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita and former Barcelona midfielder Ilaix Moriba. New Zealand has yet to name its squad.
