A historic day for the Atlanta United Academy, as the U-15/16’s won the U.S. Soccer Development Academy National Championship in their first season as a club.
Facing a powerhouse youth team and reigning champions in FC Dallas, Atlanta United Head Coach Tony Annan stuck with the same lineup that has been so successful in this playoff run, with Zyen Jones and Andrew Carleton constantly switching positions on either wing of the front three. The full lineup: Sai Brown (GK), Natnael McDonald (RB), Kendall Edwards (CB), William Crain (CB), George Bello (LB), Charlie Asensio (CM), Alessandro Castro (CM), Dylan Gaither (CM), Andrew Carleton (LW), James Brighton (ST), Zyen Jones (RW).
