The calendar has officially turned to January 2018, and we’re in the new year. That means that the time will soon come for the United States Men’s National Team to gather for their annual January Camp. January Camp is generally a time where players who have little or no international experience get an opportunity to impress the coaches and show that they have what it takes to become a regular on the national team. If they show and prove, they could earn future call-ups.
DeAndre Yedlin, Matt Besler, Geoff Cameron, Graham Zusi, Gyasi Zardes, Chris Wondolowski, and Jorge Villafana are just a few of the players who became mainstays on the USMNT because they got an opportunity during a January Camp and excelled.
