Participating in the Generation adidas Cup, the Portland Timbers U-16 Academy side recently faced Academy teams from the San Jose Earthquakes, Colorado Rapids and Real Salt Lake. Fielding a squad primarily comprised of younger players, the Timbers U-16s held competitive matches against each opponent, but fell in close matches to all three teams.
Coming off the Generation adidas tournament, the Timbers U-16s will resume league play against San Jose on Saturday, March 4, at Las Positas College Turf Field in Livermore, Calif., before facing Juventus Sport Club on Sunday, March 5, at Sequoia High School in Redwood City, Calif.
