New York City FC homegrown James Sands will be heading to the Czech Republic with the United States U-17 National Team to take part in the International Tournament Vaclav Jezek.
As the U-17 World Cup in October draws nearer, the US will be looking to use this tournament to sharpen their performances and gain chemistry in preparation for the big event.
With three games in three days, this tournament will be more of a sprint than a marathon for the Americans, who will open play against Hungary on August 22nd, before facing Russia and Japan over the next two days.
