Jesus Ferreira named to US World Cup Team

US Soccer announced the 26-player roster for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and FC Dallas striker Jesus Ferreira was named to the team.

Other players with Dallas connections were named to the squad: Walker Zimmerman (drafted by FCD), Shaq Moore (spent time in FCD Academy), Kellyn Acosta (Former FCD Homegrown), and Weston McKennie (FCD Academy).

Unfortunately, one FC Dallas player and two with FCD history were left out of the squad.

FCD wing Paul Arriola, who was a massive part of qualifying, seems to have lost out to Jordan Morris. Former FCD Homegrowns Reggie Cannon and Ricardo Pepi were dropped for, seemingly, Shaq Moore and Haji Wright respectively.
