Atlanta United defender Caleb Wiley has been named to the U.S. men’s Olympic soccer team. The 19-year-old Atlanta native made the cut Monday when coach Marko Mitrović announced the full 18-man roster.
Wiley grew up in Morningside and joined the Atlanta United Academy at age 11 as a member of the club’s inaugural under-12 team in 2016. He made his pro debut at age 15 on the franchise’s reserve team Atlanta United 2 in 2020, then moved up to the main club at age 17 in 2022.
