Five Sporting Kansas City players were named to the U.S. Men’s National Team roster on Friday for a training camp that begins Jan. 6, the United States Soccer Federation announced. Defenders Chance Myers and Seth Sinovic will join the U.S. Men’s National Team for the first time alongside fellow Sporting Kansas City teammates Matt Besler, Benny Feilhaber and Graham Zusi.

“This is a great and deserving honor,” Sporting KC Manager Peter Vermes said. “These players earned this opportunity through hard work and dedication. It is not only a testament to their individual success, but the success that Sporting Kansas City has had as a team. It’s great to see our club and players be rewarded with these selections.”

Among the 26 players selected by head coach Jurgen Klinsmann for the annual January Camp, Sporting Kansas City’s five representatives are the most from any club following the team’s MLS Cup championship season. The squad will open camp in Carson, Calif. from Jan. 6-12 before departing for Sao Paulo, Brazil to continue training from Jan. 13-25 in the 2014 FIFA World Cup host country. Klinsmann is expected to take 23 of the 26 players in camp to Brazil, while the remaining players continue to train in the United States.
