Atlanta United Academy’s Lagos Kunga named to U.S. U-20 World Cup Roster

Atlanta United Academy forward Lagos Kunga has made the 21-player U.S. Under-20 Men’s National Team roster selected by head coach Tab Ramos that will compete at the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Korea Republic, which runs from May 20-June 11.

Kunga, 18, is a highly-rated academy prospect currently playing for Atlanta United’s U-18’s. This is his second call-up with the U.S. U-20’s after joining the team for a training camp last month in London, England.

“Lagos has shown how hard work and perseverance can pay off and this is a tremendous opportunity for him to showcase his abilities,” Atlanta United Academy Director Tony Annan said.
