The Atlanta United Academy finished group play in Westfield, Ind. last week. Thanks to winning Group A, the team will continue its playoff run when they host Bethesda SC at the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Training Ground on Thursday, July 6. The winner will advance to the Academy Championships, set to take place at the U.S. Soccer National Training Center in Carson, Calif. from July 14-16.
The U-18s finished in second in Group B despite not losing a game, meaning the Atlanta United Academy didn’t drop a match all week. For Academy Director Tony Annan, there was a lot to be proud of.
