The US starts preparations for the U20 World Cup with matches against Florida All Stars and semi-pros.
Tab Ramos is working to discover which Americans will help the United States qualify for the U20 World Cup in South Korea in 2017. Four CONCACAF teams will qualify for the tournament. Young Seattle Sounders forward Victor Mansaray is one of 36 invitees to the first camp of 2016.
Those 36 players will play two double headers. On January 8th they take on "local all-star team CASA" and NPSL side Weston FC. That will give the collection of 16 college players, 15 MLS HGPs, 3 current USDAA talents, 1 from Manchester United and 1 from AFC Fiorentia.
