U-17 USWNT training camp roster features 27 ECNL Girls athletes

For the first time since March 2020, the U.S. U17 Women’s National Team is holding an in-person training camp. The camp comes in preparation for qualification matches for the U17 Women’s World Cup, which will take place in India in 2022. Qualification games will kick off early in 2022, and this October camp will serve as a way for Head Coach Matt Porter to bring players together to start assessing his roster.

For this seven-day camp in California from Oct. 10-17, 27 current ECNL players were selected to participate, highlighting the top-level talent in the ECNL across the country.

“This is a tremendous showing for our players and our league,” said ECNL Girls Commissioner Jen Winnagle. “Selection to a national team camp is a huge moment in any player’s soccer career, and reflects a tremendous amount of work and commitment.”

The 27 ECNL athletes invited to camp include the U16 Player of the Year, Maribel Flores, five additional ECNL All-Americans, and another 13 1st Team All-Conference players. In total, 19 of the 27 ECNL athletes won a league award last season ahead of the national camp. At the club level, NC Courage, San Diego Surf and Solar SC each had three players each from their respective club. In total, 17 different ECNL clubs had at least one athlete selected for the national camp.
