Philadelphia Union Star Cavan Sullivan Earns First USMNT Call-up, ESPN Reports
The 16-year-old has 6 goals and 5 assists in his last eight matches and leads MLS in goal contributions since the World Cup break.
- ESPN reported Thursday that Philadelphia Union attacker Cavan Sullivan has earned a call-up to the United States Senior Men's National Team for the September-October international window.
- Sullivan's recent form for the Union has made him impossible to ignore, with the 16-year-old tallying nine goals and 15 assists across all competitions this season.
- If he appears in any of the four upcoming matches, Sullivan will become the second-youngest USMNT debutant, trailing only Freddy Adu, who debuted at 16 years, 243 days in 2006.
- Players will begin arriving at the Soccer National Training Center in Atlanta on September 20, with the team's first match scheduled for September 26 against Peru in Orlando, Florida.
- While Sullivan remains with the Union until he turns 18, he holds a future transfer agreement with Manchester City, positioning him as a potential 2030 FIFA World Cup prospect.
