ORLANDO, Fla. (Oct. 8, 2023) – Orlando City forward Duncan McGuire has been called up to the United States Men’s Olympic National Team for its upcoming training camp in Phoenix, Arizona, it was announced today. The call-up is the rookie forward’s first recognition on the international stage.
McGuire was selected as the No. 6 overall pick in the 2023 MLS SuperDraft by the Lions after a decorated career at Creighton University. Since joining Orlando City, McGuire has made an immediate impact with the Club, scoring 11 goals in regular-season action and 13 total across all competitions for the Lions in 21 starts.
The Omaha, Nebraska native most recently scored in City’s 3-2 win over the New England Revolution, tying Damani Ralph for the second-most goals scored by a draft pick in their first MLS season out of college and, with a strike against Nashville SC at the midweek, became just the fifth MLS draft pick to score double-digit goals in the year they were drafted.
The U.S. Men’s Olympic Team will hold camp in Phoenix, Arizona from Oct. 8-17, with international friendlies against Mexico and Japan scheduled for Oct. 11 and Oct. 17 respectively, in preparation for the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
