SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Sacramento Republic FC defender Juan Barahona has been called up to the El Salvador Men's National Team, the club announced today. Barahona will represent El Salvador as they compete in the 2019-2020 Concacaf Nations League from October 7 to October 16 against Monserrat and Saint Lucia.
Born in the capital city of San Salvador, the 23-year-old has already been capped 20 times by the El Salvador National Team, including five World Cup qualifiers. Barahona signed with SRFC in May of this season and has made 18 appearances with the club including 15 starts and has contributed two assists in league play.
Prior to joining the Indomitable Club, Barahona spent six years with Santa Tecla in El Salvador's first division.
