Brandan Craig, Jack McGlynn and Quinn Sullivan will officially represent the United States at the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Argentina.

The roster for the United States squad was released on Wednesday.

Former Philadelphia Union homegrown Paxten Aaronson is not on the roster because his club team – Eintracht Frankfurt – did not release him.

The USA kicks off Group B play on Saturday, May 20 against Ecuador, faces Fiji on Tuesday, May 23 and closes the group stage vs. Slovakia on Friday, May 26. All three matches kick off at 2 p.m. ET and will be shown on FOX Sports and Telemundo platforms.
