Highlighting the Generation Adidas roster are such players as Philadelphia Union goalkeeper Zac MacMath, Montreal Impact defender Zarek Valentin, Columbus Crew midfielder Tony Tchani, Union forward Danny Mwanga and Vancouver Whitecaps forward Omar Salgado. The Union and Red Bulls each ended up with three players on the roster, the most of any team. Sporting Kansas City's Peter Vermes will coach the team.
“This annual offseason tour is invaluable for young players, and we are excited to see this talented group come together in the Netherlands,” MLS Executive Vice President Todd Durbin said in a statement. “Our players’ development is enhanced by their exposure to legendary clubs like Ajax and the opportunity to compete against their peers in other countries.”
