## Key points

- Cherundolo is targeting Olympic gold with the U.S. Under-23s.
- He joined the senior camp after four friendly wins.
- His next camp will be in Spain with two fixtures.

## Summary

Steve Cherundolo joined Mauricio Pochettino’s staff at a recent U.S. men’s national team camp, where a young squad won all four of its friendlies. His presence reflected the overlap between the senior team’s youth movement and Cherundolo’s Under-23 role as he prepares the side for the 2028 Olympics.

Cherundolo, appointed this summer with the goal of making the U.S. a contender for Olympic gold, will not be at the senior team’s next camp. Instead, he will lead his own camp in Spain, with a separate roster and two fixtures against opponents that have not yet been announced. The senior team is preparing for a two-leg CONCACAF Nations League quarter-final against Haiti.
