The U.S. Under-23 Men's National Team will hold its third training camp of 2019 from June 9-16 outside Salt Lake City in Herriman, Utah. Head coach Jason Kreis has called in 21 players for the domestic camp.

The Utah training camp comes shortly after 13 U-23 MNT players joined the senior MNT in Annapolis, Md. for a combined summer training camp from May 26-June 2.

The gathering in Herriman marks another step in the U-23 MNT's journey to the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo as the USA aims to qualify for its first Men's Olympic Football Tournament since 2008. The U.S. will look to secure its Olympic berth early next year as one of the top two teams at the 2020 Concacaf Olympic Qualifying Championship.

Midfielder George Acosta helped the USA reach the quarterfinals of the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup in India.
