That matches their tally in Qatar in 2022, when midfielder Alexis Mac Allister helped Argentina lift the trophy.
Injury to Kaoru Mitoma means none of the Albion contingent from four years ago are in their representation this time.
Jeremy Sarmiento, Robert Sanchez and Tariq Lamptey all went to the Gulf as Albion players but are not involved in the USA.
Bart Verbruggen, Jan Paul van Hecke, Mats Wieffer, Max De Cuyper, Pascal Gross, Diego Gomez, Ferdi Kadioglu and Yasin Ayari will represent the Seagulls while Jason Steele is training with England.
But they also have 16 of their former players involved this time, including Mac Allister, as well as one former head coach.
And that is despite near misses for Billy Gilmour, Joao Pedro, Ben White, Andi Zeqiri and maybe one or two others.
Here is a look at the ex-Seagulls who will be a part of the big show across the Atlantic. And not forgetting Southwick.
Jurgen Locadia (Curacao): The former Albion record signing has played in the Spanish lower leagues and with Miami FC but was sent off in the final warm-up game.
Dan Burn (England): Still part of the England defensive options, although his former colleague Ben White has been ruled out by injury.
Simon Adingra (Ivory Coast): The winger struggled at Sunderland and missed the cut for AFCON but has enjoyed his loan at Monaco and was recalled by his national team in March.
Marc Cucurella (Spain): It is easy to forget how popular he once was with Albion fans and it felt even then that he was unfortunate not to be in the Spain squad. Has put that right in some style.
Alireza Jahanbakhsh (Iran): Now almost 33 and no longer a starter but played regularly in recent months for FCV Dender at the foot of the Belgian top flight.

Leo Ostigard (Norway): Left Albion somewhat surprisingly for Napoli. Is now at Genoa and will be a back-up central defender as the tournament starts.
Viktor Gyokeres (Sweden): Played with Ostigard in the Albion under-23s and now helps lead the potent Sweden attack.
Moises Caicedo (Ecuador): Was part of so-called EcuaBrighton at the time of the last World Cup and remains the midfield heartbeat of La Tri.
Pervis Estupinan (Ecuador): A senior player for his country but has slipped behind Piero Hincapie in the pecking order after a mixed season at Milan.
Maty Ryan (Levante): The Australia No.1 and captain, now 34, helped his club somehow avoid relegation from the Spanish top tier and they hope to keep him on a new deal.
Alexis Mac Allister (Argentina): One of the big successes of 2022 and is a likely starter again but comes into this tournament after a tough season at Liverpool.
Valentin Barco (Argentina): Short-lived Albion left-back who moved on to Sevilla, Strasbourg and Chelsea and, still only 21, has been operating in midfield.
Julio Enciso (Paraguay): There are high hopes among Albirroja followers that the now Strasbourg forward can be one of the breakout stars of the tournament.
Chris Wood (New Zealand): Fifteen years after his loan with the Seagulls, he will lead his country’s attack in a 4-2-3-1 system.

Deniz Undav (Germany): Has impressed with Stuttgart and scored twice in the warm-up game against Finland in the absence of Kai Havertz.
Leandro Trossard (Belgium): A Premier League champion with Arsenal and big talent, although the World Soccer guide to the tournament describes him as “inconsistent”. Surely not!
Graham Potter (Sweden, head coach): The former Albion and Ostersunds boss saw his adopted nation through the play-offs and is on board until 2030.
And not forgetting former Southwick midfielder Ralf Rangnick, who is now head coach of Austria.
