Two standouts from the Sounders youth system, forwards Alfonso Ocampo-Chavez and Ray Serrano, have been called-up to the United States U-17 Men’s National Team by Head Coach John Hackworth for an international camp in San Jose, Costa Rica, which will run from August 2-13. In preparation for next year’s Concacaf U-17 Championship, which serves as the qualification tournament for the 2019 U-17 World Cup in Peru, the Stars and Stripes will play two friendlies each against Mexico and Costa Rica during the 12-day camp.
“Obviously every time you get called up for the national team, it’s a big honor,” said U-17 Head Coach Chris Little.
