After making his professional debut for Atlanta United FC at just 16 years old, George Bello earned his first senior USMNT call-up this January ahead of his fourth professional season and played a key role in the USA’s run to the 2021 Gold Cup this summer.
Before casting your ballot for U.S. Soccer’s 2021 Player of the Year awards, here’s a rundown of Bello’s body of work for country and club this year:
- After a decorated U.S. Youth National Team career, Bello made his senior debut as a substitute against Trinidad and Tobago on Jan. 31.
- The left back started two of his three appearances during the USA’s successful run at the Gold Cup, including the team’s thrilling extra-time victory against archrival Mexico in the tournament final.
