A 16-year-old American soccer player is preparing to make history for South Korea. Casey Phair could become the youngest player to debut in a FIFA World Cup.
kept his comments limited at a pre-game press conference in Sydney. He referenced how well Phair did in training camp, and, when prompted by reporters about Phair, said, “We’ll see.” Earlier this month, he said that Phair “is not going as a passenger but as a valuable member of the squad and has every chance of getting into the team”.Phair has honed her skills playing with PDA, a premier organization that has ties to several players in this tournament, including the United States’.
Playing at a World Cup, for many, is an end goal — and Phair is having that chance while still a teenager. “This is what every high-level soccer player is aiming for,” Molinaro says. “She’s got an amazing opportunity, and I’m really excited to see what she does with it.”One of her trainers, Mike Olim of New Jersey-based AP2T, says her work ethic and IQ are part of what helps her stand out on a pitch.
When the pandemic hit in 2020, the Phairs relocated to New Jersey so Casey could join PDA as her father’s marketing job no longer tied him to the Boston area. When Casey first joined PDA, she played for Hart. Her team there is now coached by Mike O’Neill, the longtime head coach at nearby Rutgers University’s women’s soccer team, and the girls’ director of coaching for PDA.
