North Texas SC mid/wing Leo Orejarena and FCD Academy goalkeeper Nico Montoya have been called up to the US U17 Men’s National Team domestic training camp in West Palm Beach, Florida, from March 10 through March 15.
Orejarena signed his first professional contract with North Texas SC through the 2025 season. He has previously earned call-ups to several US U16 and U17 training camps. He’s played some games with the FCD U17s while North Texas was in their offseason. FCD has traded for Orejarena’s homegrown rights, so there’s a legitimate chance he’s on a hybrid contract.
Montoya joined FC Dallas in January 2022 from Cincinnati United Premier. He was born in Medellin, Colombia. Montoya is a frequent recipient of FC Dallas first team training time.
