It's a new year and a new calendar for international soccer. In 2024, we'll see the Olympic Games in Paris and Copa América, which will be held on American soil and open at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
While January remains the MLS offseason for Atlanta United, three of the club's players will be staying active with their national teams: Thiago Almada, Edwin Mosquera and Caleb Wiley.
We'll be keeping track of when the 5-Stripes take the pitch, so here's how to watch and follow along:
The 2023 MLS Young Player of the Year has been called up to join the Argentina U-23 national team training camp ahead of CONMEBOL’s 2024 Pre-Olympic Tournament, which determines which U-23 teams from South America will qualify for the 2024 Olympic Games. The tournament runs from January 20-February 11 in Venezuela.
On January 10, Argentina announced Almada was among the 23 players named to the roster for the tournament.

Then, the team heads to San Antonio to open its 2024 schedule with a friendly against Slovenia. Wiley made his USMNT debut in April 2023, coming on as a substitute in the Allstate Continental Clásico against Mexico.
Mosquera joins Colombia’s U-23 national team training camp ahead of CONMEBOL’s 2024 Pre-Olympic Tournament. The 22-year-old has two appearances for Colombia’s U-23 side, starting two friendlies against Peru’s U-23s in December.
