“Robinson, in his first season with FC Cincinnati, has helped command a backline that has been among the very best in MLS this season, conceding the fourth-fewest goals in league play (26),” stated a press release from the team.
The U.S. Men’s Olympic Soccer Team hasn’t competed in the Olympics since 2008.
Robinson will be the first FC Cincinnati player to participate in the Olympic Games and is one of three “eligible overage players” to make the roster, according to the release.
The team will play its first game against France at Stade de Marseille on July 24. Group A play will continue on July 27 against New Zealand and conclude in Saint-Étienne on July 30 against Guinea.
The top two teams will advance to the quarterfinals on August 2.
Robinson started in four games this season that ended in clean sheet wins for FC Cincinnati. He also scored the winning goal in March when the team beat Chicago Fire FC 2-1.
