United States Soccer Federation are ahead of the Nigerian Federation in the race to secure the international future of highly-rated Portland Timbers netminder Kashope Oladapo.

The Happy Valley, Oregon native, who is eligible for Nigeria through his father, is currently training with the United States U15 squad at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, California.
