(Pictured Above: Mexico’s Viggo Ortiz was named U-15 MVP at the 2023 Generation adidas Cup, representing Austin FC Academy.)

Top U15 players from across North and Central America and the Caribbean (as well as guests Qatar and Saudi Arabia) have traveled down to Curacao and the Dominican Republic to participate in the CONCACAF U-15 Championships.

This will be the first edition that the regional competition has taken at the U-15 level since the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the competition will also be structured slightly differently than in previous editions, with the 41 nations being split up into three divisions: A, B, and C. The seeding was based on the CONCACAF Men’s under-17 Rankings.

In addition to the United States, scores of U.S.-based players will be competing for their respective national teams.
