Special guests officiating at the Draw were AGF stars Mark Howard and Benny Feilhaber, who also plays for the US national team. Both greeted the team captains as they came forward and wished the young stars of the future a good tournament: “Good luck, have fun, enjoy your football and the whole experience, and play your matches in the spirit of “fair play”.
