The U.S Men’s National Team and Uruguayan Football Federation are bringing loaded rosters into their June 5 soccer match at Children’s Mercy Park in Kansas City, Kan.

The USMNT is assembling a strong lineup headlined by Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie and Brendan Aaronson, while Uruguay is bringing heavy hitters from some of the most storied clubs in the world: Luis Suarez, Edison Cavani, Darwin Nuñez, Ronald Araujo and Federico Valverde.

Sporting Kansas City Academy product and former Sporting KC player Erik Palmer-Brown is included on the U.S. roster after winning player of the month honors for Troyes, a club in France. With Palmer-Brown a starter since February, Troyes mounted a strong run to avoid relegation.

Notably absent from the U.S. roster is another Sporting academy product and homegrown star, Gianluca Busio. Sporting KC transferred Busio to Venezia FC of the Italian Serie A last summer for a club-record transfer fee.

Tickets for the June 5 match in KCK are available at ticketmaster.com. The game will air live on FOX and Univision starting at 4 p.m. Central Time.
