US Soccer is running a combined U16 and U17 camp for the Girls National Teams from January 26th to February 2nd at the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center located south of San Diego.
Five young ladies from the DFW area, four from Solar SC and one from Dallas Sting, are in the two teams.
From Solar: Goalkeeper Evan O’Steen, defender Rhiannon Mahon, forward Jordan Hill, and midfielder Caroline Swann (the sister of FCD’s Caleb Swann).
Rachel Lawless-Felarca is from Sting Dallas.
US U17 head coach Katie Schoepfer has called up 24 players in preparation for qualifying for the 2025 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup. Concacaf qualifying will be held in late March and the World Cup, the beginning of the annual staging of this tournament, will be held from Oct. 17-Nov. 8 in Morocco, which will host the next five editions of the competition.
US U16 head coach Ciara Crinion has also called up 24 players. All the U-16s are age-eligible for selection to the Concacaf World Cup qualifying squad, and if all goes well there, the World Cup in Morocco.
