Alfaro, a defender hailing from West Chicago, Ill., and the U-18s will take part in a few games against the U-17 National Team players who are currently in Residency at IMG Academy.

The U-18’s next camp will be held in March as preparation for the Slovakia Cup, which will take place in April in Trnava, Slovakia.
