‘”Working for U.S. Soccer and helping to grow the game in this country has been an incredible opportunity,” Nsien said.

“I’m excited to move up to the U-19 MYNT to continue helping young players reach their full potential. We have a deep, talented pool of players in this country, and I’m excited to help them put on a strong performance at the upcoming Pan-American Games.”

The former defender represented Nigeria at the U-23 level.
