USA U-20 women’s team manager confident World Cup will occur as planned
Summary

United States U-20 women's national team manager Vicky Jepson expressed confidence that the U-20 Women's World Cup will proceed as scheduled despite UEFA's ongoing boycott threat. Jepson announced a 21-player roster on August 19 for the tournament in Poland, beginning on September 6 against Italy. UEFA's contention stems from a lack of assurance regarding FIFA president Gianni Infantino's potential revival of a controversial investment plan. Jepson stated that she has not received indications from her federation suggesting any concern over the tournament's status.
