The U.S. Under-17 men’s youth national team has announced its first player training camp for 2022, with 26 players being called up for the sessions at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida.
This will be the second camp for head coach Gonzalo Segares in the 2022-2023 cycle and is set for Jan. 18-25.
According to an announcement on the U.S. Soccer website, six players will take part in the U-17 training camp for the first time – goalkeeper Diego Kochen, defenders Jayson Castillo, and Stuart Hawkins, midfielders Brian Carmona Romero and Pedro Soma, and forwards Ruben Ramos Jr. and Ezekiel Soto.
The training camp comes as the team prepares to return to international competition as the 2021 CONCACAF U-17 Championship and 2021 FIFA U-17 World Cup were canceled due to the global coronavirus outbreak.
