History

The 'Caps U-17s had a memorable run in their previous Generation adidas Cup appearance in 2019, winning all four of their group matches without conceding a goal, including a win over Mexican side Toluca. Many players from that side have now moved into the professional ranks with WFC2, the MLS squad, and with Chituru Odunze at Leicester City FC in England.
