Lia Godfrey, a Fleming Island High School AICE ninth grader was invited on behalf of the United States Soccer Federation to participate in an international tournament with the U.S. Under-17 Women’s National Team in Gradisca, Italy, April 19 – 30, 2017. These camps play a vital role in her continuing development as one of the most talented young female soccer players in the United States and are an important step toward identifying a pool of players who will compete for future places on our Women’s National Teams, and maybe one day, in the FIFA World Cup and/or Olympic Games.

The United States Soccer Federation (USSF) was founded in 1913 and is the national governing body of soccer in the USA under the auspices of the United States Olympic Committee (USOC). We are responsible for developing the teams that represent the United States in international competition including the Olympics, Pan American Games, Men’s and Women’s World Cup, the U-20 World Cup, the Under-17 World Cup, the Under-20 Women’s World Cup and the U-17 Women’s World Cup.

Here are the links to the stories about Lia’s performance in the U.S. Under-17 tournaments. Lia is specifically mentioned in both articles.
