This post includes all of the players I’m currently tracking for the senior team who are also eligible for these upcoming youth tournaments. Only players born in 2003 or later are eligible for next year’s U-20 World Cup. Only players born in 2001 or later are eligible to play in the Olympics the following year. That obviously includes all of the playes in the first group, and each nation is also allowed to add up to 3 older players to their Olympic squad.
One final note, this list only includes a few players from the team that just qualified. I fully expect several of those players to use the momentum from this tournament to force their way into more club minutes. As they become more regular contributors, they’ll be added to the formula tracker.
