Late Thursday, Mexico’s Under-17 Women’s National Team released its final camp roster prior to the 2012 CONCACAF Women’s Under-17 Championship. Twenty-six (26) players were called into a camp which began on Friday and will run until April 30th. After the camp, a squad of 20 players will travel to Guatemala for the CONCACAF Championship.
Six players will be cut from the roster: Most likely, one of the three goalkeepers and five of the twenty-three field players.
At least sixteen of the twenty-six (16 of 26) players have American connections, namely that they play for USA-based club teams, and presumably live in the United States.
Those players include goalkeeper Elisa Martin; defenders Stephanie Alcazar, Natalie Rivas, Maria Solis, and Jessica Valadez; midfielders Anahie Duran, Micaela Estrada, Cynthia Pineda, Cassandra “Cassie” Reyes; and forwards Taylor Alvarado, Jenny Chiu, Luz Duarte, Hallie Hernandez, Jessica Morales, and Vivian Vega. (All the forwards on the roster play for American teams.)

Note: Players with at least one asterisk (*) after their name play for an American club team, and presumably live in the USA. Players with two asterisks (**) after their name have been in USWNT youth camps.
