Atlanta United’s academy is sending one player to the FIFA U-20 World Cup later this month and who that is might be a bit of a surprise. After attending just one pre-tournament training camp, Lagos Kunga has earned a spot on Tab Ramos’ final roster to head to South Korea.
Kunga, 18, is a speedy winger who currently plays for Atlanta United’s U-18 team in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy. He is committed to attend Furman University in fall and has recently been recognized as a top candidate for Top Drawer Soccer’s Player of the Year award.
