USMNT preliminary roster for Nations League Finals includes 12 ties to FC Dallas

FC Dallas once again has its fingerprints all over a US Men’s National Team roster as Concacaf released the 60-man preliminary rosters for the Nations League Finals.

The final four – US v Mexico, Canada v Panama – meet in a month’s time at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium aiming for the June 18th final.

Three current FC Dallas players are included but Dallas’ academy products make up almost a fifth of the entire roster.

Reigning MLS Young Player of the Year Jesus Ferreira joins Paul Arriola and Paxton Pomykal giving the Burn a three-man contingent that is matched only by reigning MLS Cup winners LAFC and Leeds United of the Premier League.

Kellyn Acosta, Reggie Cannon, Weston McKennie, Shaq Moore, Ricardo Pepi, Bryan Reynolds, Chris Richards, Tanner Tessmann, and Alex Zendejas round out the FCD Academy impact.

Walker Zimmerman – who played the first five years of his professional career in Frisco after being drafted in 2013 – is also included.

The 13th and loosest link to the national team roster comes as Alan Soñora – son of Dallas Burn midfielder Diego – is named to the roster.

The final rosters will be named a week prior to the semifinals.
