Local Star Patrick Agyemang to Play for USMNT in East Hartford
East Hartford's Agyemang Set for USMNT Showdown Against Turkey East Hartford, CT – This Saturday, the United States Men's National Team (USMNT) will face Turkey at Rentschler Field in East Hartford, and local pride will be high. East Hartford native Patrick Agyemang is in contention for a starting position, making this a significant event for the town. Agyemang's journey is a testament to local talent reaching the national stage. He honed his skills at East Hartford High School before playing for Division III Eastern Connecticut State University and later the University of Rhode Island. His impressive performance with Charlotte FC, where he scored a team-high 10 goals in 2024, earned him a call-up to the USMNT in January. "It's a dream come true to play for my country," Agyemang commented in a recent interview. His performance in his first three international games, scoring in each, has further cemented his place in the team. The match against Turkey promises to be an exciting event, not just for soccer fans, but also for the residents of East Hartford, who will be cheering for their hometown hero.
