Men’s Youth National Teams Head Abroad for Training Camps and Matches to Close 2025
HERRIMAN / ATLANTA (November 7, 2025) – U.S. Soccer has announced the rosters for the upcoming U-19 MNT (2007) and U-17 MNT (2009) international training camps to be held during the November FIFA window featuring RSL Academy midfielder Rylan Hashimoto.
Both teams will train and play matches during the week, with the U-19 MNT (2007) camping in Wrexham, Wales and the U-17 MNT (2009) going to Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
These camps are a part of the Federation’s continued focus on the U.S. Way philosophy, which emphasizes increased programming for Youth National Teams to create more opportunities for young players to advance through the pathway to the senior National Team with the goal of representing their country at a world championship.
U-19 MNT Gathers in Wales
Led by Gus Teren this month, the U-19 MNT (2007) will head to Wrexham, Wales to participate in the UEFA U-19 Youth Tournament from Nov. 10-18 as the group of players continues the path toward qualification for the 2027 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan.
The USA will face Germany on Nov. 12 at Hops & Barley Community Stadium in Ryl (4:30 p.m. local / 11:30 a.m. ET), take on hosts Wales on Nov. 15 at STōK Racecourse, the home of Wrexham AFC (2:30 p.m. local / 9:30 a.m. ET) and close out the tournament against Japan on Nov. 18 (11 a.m. local / 6 a.m. ET).
U-17 MNT Heads to Dubai
The U-17 MNT (2009) will be led by U-16 Boys’ National Team head coach Alex Aldaz and will train from Nov. 10-18 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Continuing in the preparation to qualify for the 2026 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Qatar, the U-17 MNT will play three friendlies in Dubai, taking on England on Nov. 13 (5 p.m. local; 8 a.m. ET) at Shabab Al Ahli Stadium, before taking on Australia on Nov. 15 (3:30 p.m. local; 6:30 a.m. ET) and Ivory Coast on Nov. 18 (11 a.m. local; 2 a.m. ET) in closed-door friendlies.
Hashimoto earned his third call-up from the Stars and Stripes this calendar year following an impressive 2024-25 season with Real Salt Lake’s U16 squad. Earning 2025 Generation adidas Cup MVP Honors after a five goal performance throughout the competition including a brace in a 4-0 win over LA Galaxy in the title game, Hashimoto continued his form scoring two goals and notching one assist in route to a historic “MLS NEXT Double” after RSL clinched the 2025 MLS NEXT Cup title.
The roster features 13 players from 10 different Major League Soccer setups. Houston Dynamo, New York Red Bulls and Philadelphia Union lead the way with two selections each, while one player apiece will come from FC Dallas, Inter Miami, LA Galaxy, New England Revolution, Orlando City, Real Salt Lake and San Jose Earthquakes.
Two players come from USL Championship sides Orange County SC and San Antonio FC, while four players join camp from European clubs AC Milan, Ajax, PSV Eindhoven and Real Madrid.
