Unlike other men's international soccer competitions, the men's Olympic soccer tournament is considered to be a U-23 tournament. For this year, that means players must have been born on or after Jan. 1, 2001. But, each country is allowed three overage exceptions.
Robinson is coming off of USMNT duties in the Copa America tournament, where he did not see the field, staying on the bench for all three of the U.S.' games.

The U.S. men will play the 2024 Olympics in Group A, along with host France, Guinea and New Zealand. The U.S. Olympic group stage schedule is as follows:
