HOMESTAY PROGRAM
Alfonso Ocampo-Chavez
Age: 15
Team: U-17s
Position: Forward

Ocampo-Chavez first joined the Sounders youth system in the summer of 2016. He was originally placed on the U-14 squad, but soon moved up to the U-16s. He is part of the homestay program, which connects out-of-market academy players with Sounders fans to provide residency. Ocampo-Chavez recently led the United States U-15s to victory in the Torneo Delle Nazioni in Gradisca d’Isonzo, Italy, with three goals and three assists from just four matches. He made his professional debut for S2 in USL play against Real Monarchs SLC on July 8. He was awarded the Golden Boot at the Youdan Trophy in Sheffield, England, as the leading scorer with eight goals and two assists from five matches against the likes of FC Basel and Everton FC.
