Future Boston Legacy FC Forward Chloe Ricketts Named to U.S. U-20 Roster
24 players have been called up to the U.S. Under-20 Women’s National Team training camp
Future Boston Legacy FC Forward Chloe Ricketts was named to the U.S. U-20 Women’s National Team roster.
The camp will be held from October 22-30 at the University of Kansas Health System Training Center, home of the 2025 NWSL Shield winners Kansas City Current. Then from Oct. 27-29, the U-20s will link up with the senior USWNT during its visit to Kansas City for its match against New Zealand on Oct. 29 at CPKC Stadium.
This camp will be the first for new U.S. U-20 WNT head coach Vicky Jepson, who comes to U.S. Soccer after a stint at Tottenham Hotspur where she served as first team senior assistant head coach and for a period, as interim head coach.
Ricketts turned professional at just 15 years old and quickly emerged as a standout talent. She debuted for the U.S. U-20 Women’s National Team at the CONCACAF Championships where she made three apparances.
Outside of Ricketts, New England is represented on the roster with UMASS goalkeepee Pepper Escher and Dartmouth defender Anna Leschly also making the squad. You can find the whole roster below.
