FC Dallas Homegrown forward Coy Craft, along with 23 other players, have been called into the U.S. U-20 Men's National Team by head coach Tab Ramos for the first camp of the year, running from Jan. 15-23 in Carson, Calif.
The team will prepare for next month’s CONCACAF U-20 Championship – for a foreign training camp and pair of friendlies vs. the host nation that also serves as a U-20 World Cup qualifying tournament. January Camp will serve as an opportunity for Ramos and his coaching staff to provide supplemental player development to the pool in addition to what players receive in their club environments.
“We are very excited to be getting closer to competing for a U-20 World Cup spot,” Ramos said in U.S. Soccer's official press release.“We are now working with players within our core group of 35, and I am confident that with the hard work during this camp we will be closer to achieving our goals.”
The team’s final meeting before heading to Costa Rica will be a training camp in Orlando, Florida from Jan. 31-Feb 10. The first game for the United States at the 2017 CONCACAF U-20 Championship is set to kick off on Saturday, Feb. 18 against Panama.
