TPFG SPOTLIGHT 🔦

Venezuela U17 are Canteras de América Champions 🏆🇻🇪

A stunning comeback — down 1-0 to Mexico, the Vinotinto showed character, composure and quality when it mattered most. Two players defined the night.

Da'vian Kimbrough (2010) | @SacRepublicFC | 🇺🇸🇲🇽 The most exciting dual-nat prospect in North America right now. A right-footed centre forward with elite instincts in the box at just 16 years old. Representing Mexico at U17 level and showing exactly why both El Tri and the USMNT want him.

José Gamboa (2010) | @Caracas_FC | 🇻🇪 5 goals in 5 matches. Tournament top scorer. Venezuela down 1-0 Gamboa comes off the bench, needs just 2 minutes on the pitch, and scores the equaliser at 74'. Then steps up again in added time at 80+2' to fire in the winner and seal the title. 15 years old and has already featured for the U20 Cracas youth side.

Venezuela and Mexico meet again in Group K at the U17 World Cup in Qatar. 🇻🇪🆚🇲🇽

At club level with @atlasfc this calendar year:
▪️ Sub 17 Apertura 2025 — 13 apps | 4 goals
▪️ Sub 17 Clausura 2026 — 1 app | 1 goal
▪️ Sub 19 Clausura 2026 — 11 apps | 2 goals
Already playing up at Sub 19 level at just 17.

@atlasfc always has exciting prospects coming through their academy!

TPFG RADAR 🔵
Fernando Delgado (2006) | @MontereyBayFC | USL Championship 🇺🇸
19 years old. Goalkeeper. Already starting in the USL Championship has been a bright spot for a squad struggling with form at the moment.

Composed under pressure in possession, good reflexes and quickness with a good save range, and has the leadership to organise a back line with a commanding presence.

Helped Mexico win the 2023 Concacaf U-17 Championship and represented El Tri at the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Indonesia.

Multi-year deal signed with @MontereyBayFC.

Santiago Sandoval (2007) | @Chivas | Liga MX 🇲🇽
18 years old. Left-footed. Already a Liga MX first team player for a @Chivas side that is having a fantastic campaign.
Comfortable in tight spaces, drives at defenders, and has the mentality to perform at the top level, constantly creating goal-scoring chances. His box movments and eye for goal stand out. 25 appearances this calendar year between Chivas & @TapatioCD tells you everything — this isn't a project, he's already here.

The KC Current opened a new performance center that the first team will use while the Netherlands use their center, but is ultimately meant for Current II.

It also boasts the first Goal Station in the United States, something many clubs around the world are using. #KCBaby

Lucas Herrington (2007), @ColoradoRapids defender, had a strong 90' on @MLS Matchday 1. The young CB comes from @brisbaneroar on a 4-year deal.

A composed defender with strong positional awareness and comfort in build-up. Herrington profiles as a modern center back who can impact both defensively and in possession. With his physical tools and consistency, we project him to have a strong MLS campaign.

⭐️3 Standouts from the u17 @Concacaf Qualifiers⭐️
Adan Sanchez (Mexico,2009): Consistently scans before receiving and plays forward early. Key to attacks and dictates tempo. Looks comfortable playing against pressure.

Myles Gardner (USA,2009): Athletic RW who has great verticality in possesion. Strong recovery speed and wins defensive duels at a high rate. High upside and potential attacking player to track.

Sonson Jean-Baptiste (Haiti,2010): Direct attacking threat. Wants to eliminate defenders immediately and carries the ball with purpose. Creates separation off the dribble and forces back lines to drop, opening space for teammates.
