HERRIMAN, Utah (Saturday, June 26, 2021) – Real Monarchs defender Jaziel Orozco has been invited to train with the Mexico National Team as part of their lead-up to this summer’s Concacaf Gold Cup.
“The Club congratulates Jaziel on what will be a fantastic experience with the Mexican National Team,” RSL Assistant General Manager Tony Beltran said. ”The opportunity earned is a credit to the conviction in which Jaziel approaches his craft. We wish him well and look forward to welcoming him back to the Monarchs at the camp’s conclusion.”
The defender will spend the next month training with Mexico as they prepare and compete in the Concacaf Gold Cup. As a result, Orozco will miss at least the next five Real Monarchs games.
