Erie native Katie Scott is heading back to the international stage.<\/p>\n
The Kansas City Current defender has been named to the United States Under-20 Women’s National Team roster for the 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup. The 21-player roster was announced August 19, earning Scott another opportunity to represent her country in one of the world’s premier youth soccer tournaments.<\/p>\n
The FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup will be held in Poland from September 5 until September 27. Team USA opens tournament play against Italy on September 6, as the Americans begin their quest for a world championship.<\/p>\n
Scott’s selection adds another impressive chapter to an already accomplished international career. She first represented the United States with the U.S. U-15 National Team before continuing her rise through the national team system.<\/p>\n
Among her international achievements, Scott helped the United States capture gold at the U-17 championship level and was part of the squad that earned a bronze medal at the 2024 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup.<\/p>\n
Now, the Fairview High School graduate will have the chance to compete against many of the world’s top young players while wearing the red, white and blue once again.<\/p>\n
Scott and Team USA begin their World Cup journey in early September.<\/p>\n
Good luck to Katie Scott and Team USA as they compete on soccer’s world stage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Erie native Katie Scott is heading back to the international stage.
