Snow calls in 24 players for U17 WNT camp
The U.S. Under-17 Women’s National Team will hold a training camp at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif., from May 8-14 as the squad continues preparations for the 2017 FIFA Women’s World Cup that will take place in Jordan from Sept. 30-Oct. 21. The final draw for that tournament is scheduled for May 30.
U.S. head coach B.J. Snow has call up 24 players, 17 of whom were on the squad that in mid-March won the CONCACAF U-17 Women’s Championship played in Grenada while earning a berth to the World Cup.
The players on the roster come from three birth years, with 12 being born in 1999, which is the age-cut for participation in this fall’s World Cup. Nine players were born in 2001 and three were born in 2001, all of whom were on the qualifying squad: defenders Kennedy Wesley and Kate Wiesner and forward Jordan Canniff.
The U-17s are undefeated in eight international games this year after defeating Mexico, 2-1, in the CONCACAF U-17 Women’s Championship Final on goals from Ashley Sanchez (who will be playing with the U.S. U-20 WNT in the coming months) and Civana Kuhlmann. The USA earned its berth to the U-17 Women’s World Cup by winning it’s CONCACAF qualifying semifinal 5-0 against Canada.
