New York City FC’s First Team and Academy are represented by four participants on the United States U-17 Men’s National Team for the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup held later this month in Brazil.
Three players and one coach have been named to the final roster which was released by U.S. Soccer earlier today.
Joe Scally, Tayvon Gray and Andres Jasson were called into Raphael Wicky’s team for the competition. All three players played important roles in NYCFC’s back-to-back U-19 U.S. Soccer Development Academy National Championship winning seasons in 2018 and 2019—a first for any Club at the U-19 age level.
