Who will represent the United States in the eNations Cup?

The stakes at eMLS Cup this weekend in Boston have grown substantially.

The top two U.S.-eligible finishers will qualify for next month’s FIFA eNations Cup in London.

The eNations Cup is the premier esports competition for FIFA member associations. National teams from across FIFA's six regional confederations will take part with the US joining a tournament field which already includes Argentina, Australia, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, South Africa and Sweden.

The US will be represented at the eNations Cup by the top two US-eligible finishers at eMLS Cup. This will ostensibly be the winner and runner-up of the tournament, though if either position is occupied by a player that is ineligible to represent the US, the next highest eligible player based on playoff results will be selected.

Of the 21 eMLS Cup competitors, the following 17 are eligible to represent the US in London next month, including doolsta of the Philadelphia Union, a US-Irish dual national who has elected to represent the US should he qualify.
