From October 28 to November 7, 2023, the USA U17 soccer team chose the island of Bali as a training ground in preparation for their participation in the World U17 Championships in Indonesia. Among Bali’s enchanting landscapes and cultural richness, the young athletes engaged in a unique blend of training, cultural exploration and team building.
The team explored the natural wonders of Bali, visiting a fascinating waterfall and the ancient temples in Ubud. The cultural immersion continued as the team enjoyed the culinary delights of Ubud, soaking up local flavors and strengthening bonds within the group.
USA’s U17 team played two friendly matches against challenging opponents – Canada U17 and Poland U17, adding a competitive edge to their pre-camp experience. These matches were not only a crucial test of their tactical strategies, but also provided an opportunity to refine their teamwork in an international environment.
