CHICAGO (July 25, 2006) - U.S. Under-17 Men’s National Team head coach John Hackworth released his 18-player roster that will compete in the Toyota Youth International Tournament from Aug. 10-13 in Toyota, Japan.
The U.S. will leave Bradenton, Fla., on Aug. 4 and travel to Los Angeles where they will practice at The Home Depot Center that evening before leaving for Japan the following day. The U-17s will then have three days of practice before kicking off the tournament on Thursday, Aug. 10 against the Czech Republic, who they fell to earlier this year, 1-0, in the final of the 2006 Ballymena International Tournament. Two days later, the U.S. will take on host Japan.
Depending on their results from the two-game group play, the U.S. will either be placed in the championship, third place or fifth place match. The other group consists of Croatia, South Korea and a youth team from Nagoya Grampus of the J-League. In 2005, the U.S. won the Toyota Youth International Tournament with a 2-1 victory against Japan in the final.
Hackworth is bringing five players that are not currently in U.S. Soccer’s U-17 Residency Program, but may get invited for this fall semester - Lonnie Carter, Howard Turk, Evan Raynr, Greg Garza and Zac MacMath.
The U-17 staff, which includes Keith Fulk, Raul Diaz Arce, Tim Mulqueen and Brian Maisonneuve, has brought in 76 players since August of 2005 into a national team camp, providing them with an in-depth and close-up look at the available player pool.
