The camp is part of the Federation’s continued focus on the U.S. Way philosophy, which emphasizes increased programming for Youth National Teams to create more opportunities for young players to advance through the pathway to the senior National Team with the goal of representing their country at a world championship.
In the team’s second-to-last gathering before heading to the 2025 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Qatar, Segares will guide the U-17 MNT in a pair of friendly matches against the Netherlands on Sept. 5and Sept. 8 at GemeentelijkSportpark SJC in Noordwijk, Netherlands. Both matches will kick off at 7 p.m. local time (1 p.m. ET).
All players are born after Jan. 1, 2008, and are age-eligible for this fall’s FIFA U-17 World Cup, where the USA will face Burkina Faso (Nov. 5), Tajikistan (Nov. 8) and Czechia (Nov. 11) in Group I.
