Doylestown Teen Headed To Europe With Elite Soccer Team

DOYLESTOWN, PA — A Doylestown teen has been chosen as a member of an elite soccer team that will travel to Europe later this month. Doylestown's Stevie Davis, a member of the Philadelphia Ukrainian Nationals team, has been selected for the US Club Soccer's 2019 id2 National Selection Tour roster.

Davis will join 17 other players born in 2005 to represent the United States in Belgium and France from March 29 to April 9.

The team will play friendly matches against top academy clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain, according to information from US Club Soccer, a member of the U.S. Soccer Federation.

For the 10th consecutive year, id2 Boys Program Director Gerry McKeown will lead the team, which has played the likes of FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Juventus, Inter Milan, Everton, Celtic, Atletico Madrid and Ajax over the years.

We are looking forward to embarking on another European journey of discovery,” McKeown said. “We get to learn a lot about these players while being tested by the world's best. More importantly, the players learn a lot about themselves. Sometimes these experiences can be the catalyst for self belief.”
