[U.S. UNDER-20 MEN] In the first camp of the new cycle, the U.S. under-20 national team split two games against Italian primavera teams, winning, 4-1, against Atalanta after losing to Hellas Verona by the same score. Ben Spencer, who debuted this fall for Norwegian club Molde, had three of the five U.S. goals.

Spencer had two goals, and Rubio Rubin and Romain Gall added goals and assists in the win over Atalanta.

Host Verona Hellas overcame an early Spencer goal off a pass from FC Dallas defender Kellyn Acosta to beat Tab Ramos' U-20s, 4-1, in their first game in Italy. Ramos used all 22 players who were called in for the training camp.
