U.S. Under-20 Training Camp Includes Three Kansas City Current Players

KANSAS CITY (Nov. 21, 2025) – U.S. Soccer announced Friday its roster for the United States Under-20 Women’s National Team training camp, which includes three Kansas City Current players. Forwards Mary Long and Alex Pfeiffer along with defender Katie Scott will participate in the camp from Nov. 24-Dec. 3 in Spain.

While in Spain, the U.S. U-20 squad will face the England U-20 Women’s National Team on Saturday, Nov. 29, before taking on the China PR U-20 Women’s National Team on Tuesday, Dec. 2. Both friendlies will be played at Pinatar Arena in San Pedro del Pinatar, Spain.

Both 18 years old, Long and Scott have been regulars on the U-20 circuit since the beginning of this year. At just 17, this is Pfeiffer’s second call-up at the U-20 level. The trio was part of the most recent U-20 training camp held last month at The University of Kansas Health System Training Center, the training site of the KC Current. They are three of six National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) players at this camp.

Players at the U-20 training camp will continue to vie for a spot on the roster for the 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Poland. The Stars and Stripes qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup after finishing among the top four at the 2025 Concacaf U-20 Championship in Costa Rica in June. Long totaled three goals and an assist – including a brace against Puerto Rico – at the Concacaf Championship while Scott netted a goal and donned the captain’s band during a group stage match. Long also had a goal and an assist vs. Costa Rica.

Long was a vital component of the USA’s bronze-medal performance at the 2024 FIFA U-17 World Cup where she played in all six matches and earned a start in five. She scored against South Korea in addition to adding an assist and drawing a penalty against Colombia during the group stage. She scored twice in a friendly against Brazil during her first national team call-up for a training camp in preparation of the U-17 World Cup in 2024.

Pfeiffer has trained and competed with the national youth program at the U-15, U-16 and U-17 levels since 2022. She won the 2022 Concacaf U-15 Championship before helping her U-16 squad claim the 2023 French Mondial World Cup. She began playing with the U-17 squad as a 15-year-old and scored a hat trick in a September 2023 friendly against Japan, one month before becoming the youngest player to ever sign with the Current.

Scott first hit the international scene with the U.S. U-15 National Team. She helped that group win the 2022 Concacaf U-15 Championship before leading the U-16 team to the French Mondial World Cup title the following year. During her time with the U-17 team in 2024, Scott earned gold at the Concacaf U-17 Championship and bronze at the FIFA U-17 World Cup. Her first international goal came against Panama in the opening match of the Concacaf U-17 Championship.
