Listen Later

We're joined by ANCCIF president Steven Torres and former US youth internationalist Alex Popovich to cover the story of an important tournament which has largely been forgotten in the history of US soccer.Alex and his teammates made the journey to Guatemala in 1964 to compete in an under 19s youth tournament, representing the United States. They were the first team from the US in history to compete at this tournament.Sadly, little record exists of their participation in the tournament, even at national level.This is the story of Alex's career, the tournament itself and the fight for their participation in Guatemala to be recognised.
