Minnesota United U15 Academy goalkeeper Fred Emmings spent two weeks in Luxembourg, Germany, with the U16 Luxembourg national team earlier this month.
Emmings was first scouted by the Luxembourg national team when Academy Director Tim Carter took the Loons to Germany last spring. Following the game, Emmings received a formal invitation to fly overseas and train with the team this summer.
Emmings has a dual Luxembourg/United States of America citizenship, so the opportunity to play both European and American soccer places him in a unique pool of players who are called up for international duty by their home countries throughout the season.
