SSFC Spotlight: Rokas Pukštas developing in Croatia

Amid the excitement over the final United States Men’s National Team camp ahead of the World Cup, the U-20 squad released the roster for the 2022 Revelations Cup. The eclectic list of call-ups features fourteen players who won the recent CONCACAF U-20 Championship with several intriguing names for the future. Rokas Pukštas, currently competing with Hajduk Split in the Croatian Hrvatska nogometna liga, is one of the stronger performers at the youth level. The 18-year-old midfielder already made his professional debut and is looking to become a regular contributor.

Born in Stillwater, Oklahoma to an Olympic runner father and triple-jump champion mother, Pukštas played with Oklahoma Energy FC and the Sporting Kansas City academy while also going on trial with Manchester United.
