Seattle Sounders Academy U-19 goalkeeper Sam Fowler has been called up to the United States U-19 men’s national team by Head Coach Dave van den Bergh for the upcoming Slovakia Cup, taking place from May 1-12 in Trnava, Slovakia.
Placed in Group B alongside the Czech Republic, Ukraine and Kazakhstan, the Stars and Stripes can advance directly to the Championship match — where they would face one of Azerbaijan, Hungary, Wales or Slovakia — by finishing atop their group. The U.S. U-19s won this event back in 2016, with current S2 midfielder Nick Hinds playing a key role throughout the tournament.
