Utah Royals FC News Release
HERRIMAN, Utah - Utah Royals FC forward KK Ream has been called up by the U.S. U-16 Women's Youth National Team for the upcoming Domestic Identity Camp. The camp will run from January 26th to February 2nd in Chula Vista, California under Head Coach Ciara Crinion.
U.S. U-16 GNT head coach Ciara Crinion has also called up 24 players, 23 of them born in 2009 with one, midfielder Loradana Paletta, born 2011. Paletta was the youngest player on the USA's title-winning 2024 Concacaf Girls' U-15 Championship team. All the U-16s are age-eligible for selection to the Concacaf World Cup qualifying squad, and if all goes well there, the World Cup in Morocco.
Ream was most recently called up to the U-16 squad in November 2024 to a domestic training camp held in Chula Vista, but has represented the United States at the U-15 level as well, winning the League A U-15 CONCACAF Championship in 2024. The title marked the fourth consecutive time the United States U-15 Girls' National Team has won the CONCACAF Championship. Ream buried a pivotal penalty kick in the United States shootout win over Canada in the Semi-Final.
Ten players coming to the U.S. U-16 GNT helped the USA win the 2024 Concacaf Girls' U-15 Championship, including forwards Carolina Reyna and Maddie DiMaria, midfielders Mia Corona, Caroline Swann and Bristol Kersh and defender Meila Brewer. Those players combined for 12 goals in the tournament with a team-leading six coming from Reyna.
