High School Football America
To celebrate the day, USA Football officials have decided to play the 2nd annual Team USA vs. The World all-state game in Austin, Texas. The game pits America's Under-19 National Team against a World Team made-up of the best players age 19-and-under from outside of the United States. Both teams have 45-man rosters.
Team USA is made-up of players and coaches from 21 states and Washington, D.C. The World squad has players from four different continents representing American Samoa, Austria, Canada, Finland, Germany, Japan, Mexico and Sweden.
The game itself is sanctioned by the International Federation of America Football (IFAF), a Paris-based federation composed of 59 countries that possess a national federation dedicated solely to American football.
Westlake (Austin, TX) High School head coach Darren Allman is the head coach of Team USA. Allman has an overall record of 57-19 in his six years as head coach at Westlake.
“This roster holds tremendously talented players, but its blueprint is centered on the assemblage of a true team, a national team,” said Allman. “Representing the United States in our country’s favorite sport is a high honor – our coaches and players understand this. We’ll be prepared to face a strong opponent on Feb. 2 and to celebrate football on an international scale.”
Team USA won last year's inaugural game 17-0 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
