Over 500 players from 24 countries are taking part in the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Korea this summer—and UNM's Aaron Herrera was lucky enough to be named as one of the selections
Herrera, a defender for the UNM men’s soccer team, has been working with the US National Team for a while. His latest achievement happened only a few months ago when he was part of the roster that took the U.S.’ first CONCACAF title at the U-20 level by taking down the Honduras’ team 5-3 on penalty kicks.
“It was just crazy being the first team to ever do it,” said the Las Cruces native.
