Academy goalkeeper Chituru Odunze called up to U-17 USMNT for January camp

Whitecaps FC Academy goalkeeper Chituru Odunze has been called up to the United States U-17 men's national team for an upcoming training camp in Lakewood Ranch, Florida from January 4 to 13.

Odunze was last called up for the Nike International Friendlies in December, where he started and earned a clean sheet in a 1-0 win over Turkey.

The camp will feature a matchup between the national team's U-17 and U-19 sides on Sunday, January 12.

Following an undefeated run at the 2018 Nike International Friendlies, acting U-17 MNT head coach Dave Van den Bergh has called 28 players back to Florida to begin 2019.
