A Promising Call‑Up
McKenzie Godfrey, a talented forward who will join the Kentucky women's soccer program as a freshman this fall, has earned a spot in the United States U‑18 Youth National Team Training Camp.
Her high school career at Midtown (GA) High School was marked by GHSA All‑Star MVP honors and a Region Player of the Year award, underscoring her impact on the field.
Camp Details
The training camp is being held at the Arthur M. Blank U.S. Soccer National Training Center in Fayetteville, GA, where 24 players will compete for a place on the roster that will represent the United States at the 2026 FIFA U‑20 Women's World Cup.
The selection process is rigorous, but Godfrey's inclusion reflects both her club success with Tophat SC — who captured the Girls Academy National Championships in 2023 and 2026 — and her standout performances for Kentucky's program.
Looking Ahead
Kentucky's women's soccer team concluded the previous season with a 12‑4‑5 record, only to see their NCAA Tournament journey end in a penalty shootout against in‑state rivals Louisville.
As the camp progresses, Godfrey joins a talented cohort of prospects hoping to translate early‑season form into a spot on the world stage, a prospect that has excited both her coaches and fans alike.
