Moisa and Villa have been with the Real Monarchs for the start of their 2024 season. Moisa appeared in the two opening Monarchs matches starting in both while Villa has appeared in the 20-man roster both games but has yet to make his professional debut fresh off his first signed pro contract last January. Real Monarchs stood at 0-1-1 in their first two games before sending their academy standouts to the 2024 Generation adidas Cup.
The RSL Academy U17 squad is coming off of a heartbreaking quarterfinal loss to San Jose Earthquakes 0-0 (9:8) in the GA Cup Quarterfinal.
