University of Washington Men’s Soccer to Represent USA in Brazil

The University of Washington men's soccer team will represent the United States in the FISU (International University Sports Federation) America Games in São Paulo, Brazil, from July 20-29, 2018. The Huskies will be one of seven teams taking part in the competition against other university teams from North and South America.

"It's an honor to represent the United States at the FISU games," UW men's soccer Head Coach Jamie Clark said. "The event will be great challenge, but I am confident our Washington team will be great ambassadors for our country, while also competing at the highest level. When you think of soccer Brazil immediately jumps to mind, so it will be an even greater treat for our guys to compete in a nation that is synonymous with the sport."
