Wolfsburg, 15th in the Bundesliga table, are home to USMNT center back John Anthony Brooks.

D.C. United have several homegrown products competing in Europe, including midfielder Chris Durkin at Belgian Pro League club Sint-Truiden and midfielder Ian Harkes at Scottish Premiership side Dundee United.
