LOS ANGELES – LA Galaxy defender Julian Araujo has been named to the U.S. Under-23 National Team’s roster for a pair of friendlies in Spain later this month.

Araujo and the U.S. U-23 will play their first matches of the 2020 U-23 cycle in San Pedro del Pinatar against Egypt on Friday, March 22 and the Netherlands on Sunday, March 24. The games will kick off at 9 a.m. PT at Pinatar Arena in San Pedro del Pinatar.

Araujo, 17, made his MLS debut in the Galaxy’s 3-2 victory over Minnesota United last Saturday.
