SACRAMENTO, Calif. (January 31, 2019) — Two Sacramento Republic FC Academy players have been called up to join the U-18 U.S. Men’s National Team (USMNT) for its first training camp of the year, which will take place from Feb. 1-7 at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif. The call-ups mark the 33rd time in the Republic FC Academy’s four-year history that its youth players have been selected to join a U.S. National Team.

Republic FC forward Roberto Hategan and Republic FC U-19 Academy forward Hunter George will be part of the 20 youth players who will gather in Southern California for a week-long training camp led by U-20 USMNT head coach Tab Ramos. The training camp presents a great opportunity for the players to impress Ramos as he prepares a roster for this summer’s U-20 FIFA World Cup tournament that will take place in Poland.
