The 19-year-old defender and Lakewood native received his first call-up to the senior national soccer team for next week’s friendlies in Southern California
Galaxy defender Jalen Neal first learned he was on the preliminary roster for the January U.S. Men’s National team camp about two weeks ago.Neal, 19, was one of the 24 players called into training camp as the U.S. kicks off 2023 and the new World Cup cycle.
“The first one was kind of being surprised,” he said. “Not that I got it , but I didn’t know it would come this early in my career, without any first-team appearances . Neal is one of three players on the roster that led the U.S. U-20 team to the CONCACAF championship in July. That team qualified the U.S. for the U-20 World Cup, from May 20 to June 11, and the 2024 Summer Olympics.
“The next step for him is exposure. Having to live those moments against top players and work with his teammates.”
