On the Pitch

Potential new players can be scouted from all over the country at various events. 

Some of these events can include semi pro & pro leagues, youth club & league matches, olympic development programs, and USSF & youth national team events.

The scouted players are then evaluated by USMNT technical staff during events such as training camps, friendlies and official matches.

Once chosen, players are notified at least 15 days in advance of a camp or match. The final roster is then selected 1 week before the match.

You’ve heard of the fox in the box, a crafty striker who uses whatever means necessary to score a goal. Now here’s a fox on the pitch, a furry mammal who just wants to play some soccer. 

An Estonian League 2 U-21 match was interrupted not once, not twice but three times by a fox invading the pitch this week.
