Fort Wayne Football Club goalkeeper Aurie Echevarría has received the call to join Puerto Rico’s National Team for the CONCACAF Nations League matches in late September and October.
It’s the fourth time in his career that Echevarría, 25, has been named to the National Team and the second time this season. He was selected in March to compete in a FIFA Series but ultimately had to withdraw due to an injury suffered in training.
Echevarría was also on the roster for the 2022 CONCACAF Nations League and the 2023 Gold Cup Qualification matches, but he didn’t check into any of those matches.
Puerto Rico will face Guyana on Sept. 24, Dominica on Sept. 27, and the Cayman Islands on Oct. 1 and 4.
Other goalkeepers on the Puerto Rico roster include Sebastián Cutler and Joel Serrano.
Fort Wayne FC is playing 7 p.m. today at Greenville Triumph SC and Echevarría is with the club. Don’t miss out on the Fort Wayne FC Watch Party at Ruoff Mortgage Stadium; there will be no charge for admission or parking, concessions and the FanZone will be open, and you can watch the ESPN+ broadcast on the second widest video board in the state of Indiana.
This season, Echevarría has played in one USL League One match and three Prinx Tires USL Cup matches for Fort Wayne FC – including two matches against USL Championship-level clubs – and stopped 8 of 18 shots on target. Bernd Schipmann has been in net for the rest of Fort Wayne FC’s action this year.
Echevarría was one of Fort Wayne FC’s most successful players during its time in the pre-professional level of USL League Two, in which the team competed from 2001 to 2025. Echevarría helped propel the club to division titles in 2023, 2024 and 2025, and berths in the conference semifinals in 2024 and 2025.
In 2023, he won the Golden Glove Award for having the lowest goals-against average in USL League Two at 0.43 goals per 90 minutes. He had a run of eight straight scoreless matches for Fort Wayne FC that year. In 2025, Echevarría was named to the Central Conference Team of the Year, after he helped Fort Wayne FC to seven clean sheets.
Echevarría played in the fall of 2025 at Butler University as a graduate student. He appeared in 17 matches and had a 5-10-2 record with two clean sheets, a .659 save percentage and a 1.82 goals-against average.
Prior to Butler, Echevarría played at Rutgers University from 2021 to 2024 and was part of the 2022 Big Ten championship team. He played in eight matches and was 3-4-1 with a shutout, a .553 save percentage and a 2.13 goals-against average.
Before his college career, Echevarría, who is from Englewood, New Jersey, helped St. Benedict’s Prep to two national titles.
