PHOENIX (Thursday, October 7th, 2021) -- The U-20 Women's National Team returns to the field this October and Utah Royal FC AZ's Farrah Walters has been named to the 28-player roster by U-20 Women's National Team head coach Tracey Kevins. 

The October camp will be held at the Elite Athlete Training Center in Chula Vista, California, from October 17-24. This camp, and another upcoming camp which will be held in December, serves as preparation for the 2022 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Costa Rica. 

“With international competition right around the corner, we’re really looking forward to seeing our U-20 and U-17 USWNTs get back together on the field,” said USWNT General Manager Kate Markgraf. “After scouting players across the country in their club competitions virtually and in-person, and evaluating them at Regional ID Centers, as well as during the last cycles before COVID, these camps are a critical opportunity to bring the player pools together and familiarize them with our staff and each other. It’s an important early step to prepare for qualifying, which is coming up quickly.”
