# USA Officially Names Liverpool Forward in Squad for Costa Rica Friendlies

The United States U-20 Men's National Team has announced their roster for an international training camp in Costa Rica, featuring Liverpool forward Keyrol Figueroa. The 19-year-old striker has been selected by head coach Rob Valentino for the camp running from November 10-18 in Alajuela.

Figueroa will be part of a 20-player squad that will compete in two friendly matches against Costa Rica's U-20 side. Both games are scheduled at Estadio Piedades de Santa Ana, with kickoffs set for November 15 and November 18 at 10 a.m. local time (11 a.m. ET).

The call-up recognizes Figueroa's impressive performances for Liverpool's youth sides this season. The promising young forward has been in outstanding form for Liverpool U21s in Premier League 2 during the 2025/26 campaign, registering seven goals in nine appearances. Among his highlights was a memorable hat-trick in the mini-Merseyside derby victory over Everton U21s, demonstrating his clinical finishing ability.

Figueroa's selection comes during a busy international window, with Liverpool having a significant portion of their squad on international duty. A total of 20 Liverpool players are representing their countries during the November international break, including 15 senior internationals. These players are competing in crucial World Cup qualifiers and international friendlies spread across the globe.

The Reds' contingent includes high-profile players such as Virgil van Dijk and Cody Gakpo with the Netherlands, Mohamed Salah with Egypt, and Alexis Mac Allister representing Argentina. Figueroa's inclusion in the USA U-20 roster reflects Liverpool's commitment to developing young talent and supporting international football development at all levels.
