Campus Showdown in Frankfurt
The United States Under‑19 Women’s National Team has unveiled a 20‑player roster that will gather for a training camp in Frankfurt, Germany, ahead of a pair of international matches against the German side.
Among the selected athletes are Bella Devey and Lauren Malsom, both rising stars from the Carolina women's soccer program, who have earned their places after impressive performances in recent overseas tours.
The team is scheduled to travel to Germany from May 31 through June 10, with competitive fixtures set for June 5 and June 9 at the DFB Campus, the German Football Association’s state‑of‑the‑art training complex.
Devey and Malsom have been mainstays on the U‑19 squad throughout the current cycle, and their inclusion reflects a blend of domestic development and international exposure, having previously competed in training camps in Argentina and Portugal where the United States posted wins over local opponents.
Head coach emphasized the tactical challenges posed by Germany’s physical style and highlighted the opportunity for the young Americans to test their skills against a top‑ranked opponent on home soil.
The upcoming fixtures mark a pivotal step in the players' preparation for upcoming tournaments, and fans in the United States and abroad are eager to see how the Carolina duo will fare against the host nation.
