Frisco, Texas (March 8, 2020) – FC Dallas’ Homegrowns Reggie Cannon, Jesús Ferreira and Paxton Pomykal have been selected by United States Under-23 Men’s National Team head coach Jason Kreis to represent the U.S. at the 2020 Concacaf Olympic Qualifying Championship. The qualifiers will take place in Guadalajara, Mexico from March 20 to April 1.
