Duo set to represent the United States against Haiti after featuring in October friendlies
Philadelphia Union Homegrown players Cavan Sullivan and Neil Pierre have been named to the U.S. National Team roster for the upcoming Concacaf Nations League Quarterfinal matches against Haiti on Nov. 14 and 17. The two Philadelphia Union Academy products will join the squad as it looks to secure a place in the tournament's semifinal round.
Sullivan and Pierre continue to earn recognition on the international stage as two of the top young talents in U.S. Soccer. Their selection reflects the Philadelphia Union's longstanding commitment to developing elite players through its pathway from the Academy to the first team and beyond.
The duo most recently represented the United States in international friendlies last month. Sullivan made history by becoming the youngest goal scorer in U.S. Men's National Team history, finding the back of the net at 17 years and five days old in a 3-0 victory over Mexico on Oct. 3. Pierre also featured during the October international window, continuing his rise through the U.S. national team system and gaining valuable experience against top-level international competition.
The Concacaf Nations League Quarterfinal series against Haiti will determine qualification for the tournament's final rounds.
The Philadelphia Union Academy remains one of Major League Soccer's premier player development systems, producing numerous players who have advanced to the professional and international levels. The selections of Sullivan and Pierre further reinforce the club's commitment to developing the next generation of talent for both Philadelphia and U.S. Soccer.
