Portland Timbers Academy forward Dario White has been called up to the Jamaica U-17 National Team in preparation for upcoming Concacaf U-17 World Cup Qualifiers. White joined the U-17 Reggae Boyz for the five-day camp in Kingston, Jamaica, on Oct. 11.
On Oct. 10, Concacaf announced new formats for the Confederation’s U-17 Men’s World Cup Qualifiers. It follows FIFA’s confirmation earlier this year that it will increase the frequency of the FIFA U-17 Men’s World Cup to become an annual competition, with expanded participation to 48 nations.
The first edition of the Concacaf U-17 Men’s World Cup Qualifiers under the new format will take place on Feb. 7-16, 2025. White's first call-up into camp with Jamaica also marks the start of the Reggae Boyz journey to the next Men's U-17 World Cup.
While in camp, White and the U-17s had the opportunity to meet the senior Jamaican National Team.
