While Sacramento Republic FC Academy’s inaugural season is over, the postseason is just beginning.
Republic FC’s U-13/14 Academy team is in Frisco, Texas to compete in the 2016 U.S. Soccer Development Academy U-13/14 National Showcase, a premier national event that features the top U-13/14 boys players from across the country. The event started on Monday, June 20 and runs through Thursday, June 23.
As part of the National Showcase, Republic FC Academy’s U-13/14 match against NYCFC U-13/14 on Wednesday, June 22 was selected as one of the event’s Featured Games to be streamed live on the U.S. Soccer YouTube page. Kickoff is 9 a.m. PT.
Since the U-13/14 age group does not have a playoff tournament like the U.S. Soccer Development Academy U-15/16 and U-17/18 age groups, the National Showcase is the culminating event for the 10-month Academy U-13/14 season and will feature 92 unique Development Academy teams playing a combined total of 138 matches.
The U-13/14 Showcase is designed to creative play and player development, as opposed to results and standings. Additionally, the Showcase is an opportunity for U.S. Youth National Team coaches, technical advisors, and scouts to identify players for future national team call-ups.
On Monday, Republic FC’s U-13/14 team kicked off their National Showcase debut with a 3-1 win against Crew SC Academy Wolves. Forward Scott Nicholson scored a brace while second half substitute Mario Penagos tallied the final goal.
Wednesday’s Republic FC’s U-13/14 match against NYCFC’s U-13/14 is one of just nine of the 138 matches selected by the U.S. Soccer Development Academy program to be one of the event’s Featured Games.
The Featured Games were selected on a variety of factors, including embodying the Academy ideals, upholding Academy standards and playing to a high quality.
Republic FC fans may watch Wednesday’s Featured Game between the club’s U-13/14 team and NYCFC U-13/14s at www.sacrepublicfc.com/matchday.
Republic FC Academy’s U-13/14s will finish the tournament against Georgia United on Thursday, June 23. Kickoff is 6:30 p.m. PT.
