Joey Valenti (born August 29, 1966) was a U.S. soccer midfielder who played on the U.S. team at the 1985 FIFA U-16 World Championship.
Valenti attended A. P. Leto High School in Tampa Bay, Florida. In 1985, he was selected to play for the U.S. at the 1985 FIFA U-16 World Championship.[1] Valenti and his team mates went 1-2 in the group stage and did not qualify for the second round. In 1986, he entered Duke University, playing for the Blue Devils’ men’s soccer team from 1986 to 1989. His freshman year, Duke won the NCAA Men's Soccer Championship[2] and in 1988, Valenti was selected as a first team All American garnering second team honors in 1989. Valenti then appears to disappear from the sports scene with the only mention of him coming on the roster of the 1993 Tampa Bay Rowdies of the American Professional Soccer League.[3]
