What happened: Ruben Ramos Jr. and Ventura County FC midfielder Dylan Vanney have been selected to represent the United States at the 2026 Concacaf U-20 Championship. The tournament runs July 24 through Aug. 9 in Mexico.

Why it matters: The call-up extends a run of youth-national-team recognition for Ramos Jr., the same Ramos Jr. who was called up to a U.S. U-19 camp in June. Vanney's inclusion adds another Ventura County FC player to the national-team pipeline.

What to watch: The U.S. U-20 squad opens Concacaf U-20 Championship play July 24 in Mexico.
