Since the Inter-Allied games were not sanctioned by the International Olympic Committee and FIFA the matches are not counted by these organizations as official internationals. The inconsistent and incomplete information regarding the players has made it difficult to identity most of the men who represented the United States in the games as well as those who played on the various teams who competed in the American Expeditionary Force championship.
In the podcast I discuss a few of the players that I was able to locate including Joe Cunat, Edward Demmer and Maurice Hudson. I post the rosters here in the hopes that someone may have information on these athletes, especially where they may have played before the war and if they continued to do so afterwards. Please leave a comment with any questions and/or information. I will update the page if anything new comes to light.

The names in brackets are the corrected spelling if known or a possible alternative spelling that appeared in the Reading Times newspaper on May 19, 1919. The story on the championship highlighted the contributions of men born in Western Pennsylvania and included some different spellings and some additional names not in the starting XI.
