CHICAGO (Sept. 21, 2017) – U.S. Under-17 Men’s National Team Head Coach John Hackworth has named a 21-player roster for the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup in India, which runs from Oct. 6-28. Real Salt Lake Academy MF Taylor Booth – a native of Eden, Utah – is among the squad as the U.S. departs Sept. 24 for training in Dubai, where the remaining players will join the camp prior to arrival in India.
“This cycle of players is unique in terms of the quality, depth and work ethic of the group,” Hackworth said. “The biggest challenge in selecting this roster was the competition for spots at almost every position.
