Carioca Championship final Overview

Former U.S. Men's National Team defender and Los Angeles FC head coach Steve Cherundolo is returning to U.S. Soccer as he takes over the U.S. Under-23 Men's National Team ahead of the 2028 Summer Olympics, which will be held in Los Angeles. The U.S. will take part in the Olympic tournament for just the third time in 20 years after failing to qualify in 2012, 2016 and 2020.

Rothenberg, who oversaw the planning of the 1994 World Cup, knew nothing about soccer growing up. Yet now, he is a true legend of the American game.
