The hosts, coached by former Energie Cottbus and 1860 Munich defender Gregg Berhalter, have included two Germany-based players in Borussia Mönchengladbach full-back Joe Scally and Union Berlin forward Brenden Aaronson.

Defending champions and World Cup holders Argentina have Bayer Leverkusen's Bundesliga-DFB Cup double winner Exequiel Palacios in their ranks.
