CHICAGO (Via U.S. Soccer) – U.S. Boys’ National Team head coach John Hackworth has named 20 players for the U-15’s second training camp of 2015, to be held from June 4-14 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

While in camp, U-15 BNT will play a trio of friendly matches against South American National Teams. The U-15’s will face Uruguay on June 8, matchup against Argentina on June 10 and round out the trip against Paraguay on June 12.

“It is always an important experience for our young players to compete against the South America soccer powers of Argentina, Uruguay & Paraguay,” Hackworth said. “Perhaps just as important is also the valuable learning experience of playing in such an amazing soccer culture as Argentina. The history, passion and environment will undoubtedly provide our team a unique opportunity.”

Hackworth’s group most recently competed at the 12th Tournament delle Nazioni in Gradisca d’Isonzo, Italy, from April 25-May 1, where they defeated Austria 3-2 in the championship match to claim the tournament title for the USA for the first time in its history.

Fifteen players from the championship-winning Italy roster are a part of the current 20-player group who will be making the trip to Argentina. Additionally, 16 players have ties to U.S. Soccer’s Development Academy.
