Two NYCFC youngsters have been called up to the U.S U16 Boys’ National Team.
Head coach Shaun Tsakiris has selected Nico Benalcazar and Justin Haak for the IMG Cup: Boys Invitational which will take place Dec.17 – Dec.19.
The tournament will coincide with a domestic training camp in Bradenton, Fla.
Ahead of the competition, the U.S will take on Clearwater Chargers U17/18 before they take on Next Gen USA Showcase Select, FC Florida Prep Academy and Miramar United Elite FC in a round-robin style tournament format.
“As a staff, we are giving these players another opportunity to be recognized and seen,” Tsakiris said.
