Gotham FC Forward Mak Whitham Named to U.S. U-17 Women's National Team Roster

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (May 22, 2025) - Gotham FC forward Mak Whitham has been named to the U.S. Under-17 Women’s National Team training camp roster for the upcoming camp.

The camp will take place from May 27 to June 3 in Fayetteville, Georgia, the site of the under-construction Arthur M. Blank U.S. Soccer National Training Center.

Whitham, 14, is the youngest player named to the U-17 roster.

She has prior U.S. Youth National Team experience, having featured for the U-15 squad that won the 2024 Concacaf Girls’ U-15 Championship. She scored the second goal in a 3-0 win over Mexico in the final.

Whitham made history in Gotham FC’s 2025 regular-season opener, entering as a substitute in the third minute of second-half stoppage time to become the youngest player to appear in an NWSL regular-season match.

The California native has made five appearances for Gotham FC this season, all as a substitute, totaling 58 minutes.
