U.S. Soccer announced the roster for the upcoming U-15 Boys’ National Team domestic training camp to take place from Oct. 19-26 at the Elite Athlete Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif. Under-16 Boys National Team head coach Alex Aldaz will serve as coach for this month’s camp.

The camp is part of the Federation’s continued focus on the U.S. Way philosophy, which emphasizes increased programming for Youth National Teams to create more opportunities for young players to advance through the pathway to the senior National Team with the goal of representing their country at a world championship.

Sixteen different clubs are represented on the 24-player roster, including 21 players from 14 Major League Soccer setups. Orlando City leads the way with three selections, followed by two apiece from D.C. United, Philadelphia Union, San Jose Earthquakes and St. Louis City. Atlanta United, Charlotte FC, Chicago Fire, Colorado Rapids, Columbus Crew, LAFC, Nashville SC, New England Revolution and New York Red Bulls each send one player.

The roster also features two players from the Barca Residency Academy and one from Silva Soccer Academy.
