A New Era for the U.S. National Teams
With the international break soon upon us, opportunities will be given to plenty of youngsters who will be wearing their national colors for the first time in their young careers. The roster for the U-17 USYNT has been released having plenty of familiar faces that have lit up MLS NEXT Pro and will hope to carry their form to the National Team. On the other hand, the U-16s prepare to face Mexico twice during their training camp in Toluca, Mexico, as a new chapter in this old as time rivalry between two Concacaf giants opens up again.

The U.S. U-17 Men's Youth National Team will hold a training camp in West Palm Beach, Florida, from Nov. 10 to 16.
Head coach Gonzalo Segares has named 24 players for the camp as preparations continue for next February's Concacaf U-17 Qualifiers, which will send eight teams to the 2025 FIFA U-17 World Cup. The United States is seeking a record 19 U-17 World Cup berths and will face the U.S. Virgin Islands, St. Kitts and Nevis, and Cuba in the qualifying tournament, scheduled for Feb. 7-16 in Alajuela, Costa Rica.
The latest U.S. roster is stacked with emerging stars, including Liverpool FC defender Keehan Barret-Underwood, Gent winger Victor Vandenbroucke from Belgium, and first-time call-up Austyn Jones of PSV. Jones, a standout talent with over 43 goals in his debut season in the Netherlands, has already made waves on the Netherlands youth national teams, netting crucial goals against powerhouses like Italy.
Alongside these international sensations are some of the top U.S. prospects, including Julian Hall, Cavan Sullivan, Maximo Carrizo, and Jude Terry. Notably, Julian Hall returns to the national team for the first time in over a year after dedicating time to his professional commitments with New York Red Bulls’ first and second teams.
