Barca Residency Academy defender Isaiah Kaakoush has been called up to the U.S. U-15 Men’s National Team for a domestic training camp taking place from March 3-11 in Carson, CA. The second training camp of the year, head coach Tom Heinnemann has called up 23 players for the event that will take place at Dignity Health Sports Complex.
Kaakoush, fresh off a three-week training stint at FC Barcelona’s La Masia, receives his first U.S. Youth National Team call-up as the U-15 MYNT continues preparations for this year’s 2023 Concacaf U-15 Boys’ Championship. Players born on or after Jan. 1, 2008 are age-eligible for the tournament.
An Arizona native, Kaakoush has been an integral part of Barca Residency Academy’s U-15 MLS Next squad for the past two seasons. This year, he has captained the U15s to a 18W-3L-2D U15 record thus far and has made appearances for Barca’s U-16, U-17, and U-19 teams.
