What a Week!

The TCU soccer program hosted the United States’ Under-20 Men’s National Team at Garvey-Rosenthal Stadium this week. The national squad took over the Horned Frogs’ facilities for a week of training, including the fields and Jane Justin Field House.

“We have a few players on the team from this area that spoke highly of TCU,” U.S. head coach Thomas Rongen said. “It’s a great pitch and the treatment that we have received from head coach Dan Abdalla and TCU has been first class. It was very important for us to be able to use all of the facilities and I would say that TCU has been a very gracious host.”

“The facilities have been great, almost too good,” Rongen said. “We know that when we get to Guatemala, we won’t be playing on fields like this. It is in excellent condition. The facility has a nice ambiance, which is important as well. I would say thumbs up for everything from the locker rooms to equipment and the fields. The people have been very accommodating and that is very important to us and to U.S. Soccer.”

The next stop on the team's travel is Pizza Hut Park tonight at 6pm when they play the FC Dallas reserves in a friendly match. We wish them the best of luck and safe travels to South America for their World Cup Qualifying.
