CARSON, Calif. (Wednesday, July 2, 2008) - Chivas USA midfielder Jorge Flores has been called into the United States Under-20 National Team for the squad's upcoming match against the Mexico U-20 National Team on Friday, July 11, in Laredo, Tex. For Chivas USA this season, Flores has played in six matches (starting three), scoring three goals. Born in Anaheim, Calif., Flores spent his childhood in Pénjamo, Guanajuato, Mexico before moving back to Southern California as a teenager, and this will be his first match for the U.S. U-20's against Mexico.

Flores has become a mainstay on the U.S. U-20 National Team in 2008, having been with the team for the Copa Chivas in Mexico in January and the Campos Verdes International Tournament in Portugal in April. In May, Flores was with the team for a pair of games in England against English Premier League reserve teams, where he had a goal and an assist. Flores has played in more games with the U-20 National Team this year than any other player.
