In an impressive display of soccer talent, 64 young prospects gathered in Mesa, Arizona, for the prestigious Allstate Sueño Alianza National Showcase. The event, which has become a benchmark for new talent discovery, resulted in a flurry of invitations from renowned scouts.

A total of 47 participants stood out, being recruited by scouts from prestigious clubs in Mexico and the United States. The Mexican Football Federation and US Soccer also set their sights on these youngsters, with up to twelve invitations being extended to a single player.

The event was led by Rafael Calderon, Soccer & Coaching Director at For Soccer Ventures, and Lindsay Casinelli, presenter of TUDN and ViX. In addition to the on-field action, the traditional scarf presentation to the standout players took place, including beneficiaries of the Access U Foundation, where two young talents will have the opportunity to combine their studies with soccer development.

Aric Mata, from Sundland Park, became the most decorated player of the showcase, receiving twelve invitations from clubs in both Liga MX and MLS. Owen Cruz, from Houston, followed with nine invitations, while Anthony Arango and Xavier Soria each received eight invitations, demonstrating the high competitive level of the event.

In the women's division, Ashlee Mora, Elena Vera, and Keirah Hope stood out with three invitations each, marking an important milestone for women's soccer at the event.

Jancarlos Castañón and Emily Morales were recognized by Access U, winning the opportunity to combine their sports career with university studies in the United States.

With this event, Alianza de Futbol closes a successful year and is already preparing for a promising 2024, with the expectation of surpassing the achievements reached on the Alianza Tour, establishing itself as a key platform for the discovery and development of future soccer talents.
