Amid all of the news about player departures and speculation around incoming transfers, an important story was lost in the shuffle. Currently, Atlanta United’s academy and 2s team have at least 7 players preparing to play in major international youth tournaments with significant implications for the nations they are representing and for their own careers.
Leading this group is Atlanta United 2’s goalkeeper Vicente Reyes, who was officially selected to represent Chile for the CONMEBOL U-20 Championships. Reyes is one of just two players on the squad to not currently play for a Chilean club and the only player who is based outside of South America.
