National Call-Up
Christian
Benavente
Selected to the Guam U20 Men's National Team, Christian will represent the island at the AFC U20 Asian Cup Qualifiers 2027 in Mongolia — carrying Western Washington Surf with him.
On being selected
Training in with the Guam U20 squad, putting in the work ahead of qualifying. Guam's national team program gives players the chance to compete on the international stage, representing an island of roughly 150,000 people against the best in the region. For Christian, a BU19 MLS Next player, an experience like this is where all the reps back home start to pay off — sharper decisions, faster habits, and a real test of where his game stands.
Proud of you, Christian.
From the fields at Western Washington Surf to the national stage with Guam — this is what the work has been for. Go represent the island, and represent us well.
