Inter Miami CF Academy player Adrián Rosario has been called to Puerto Rico’s U-17 National Team for the upcoming Concacaf U-17 Qualifiers to be held in Bradenton, Fla. from Aug. 29 through Sept. 9. This will be Rosario’s first experience on the international stage since joining Inter Miami ahead of the 2021-22 season.
The Concacaf U-17 Qualifiers will consist of four games for the Puertorrican U-17 side. The winner of the tournament will advance to the Concacaf U-17 Championships in Jan. 2023, where teams will compete to qualify for the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Peru.
