Pago Youth B is the reserve team for Pago Youth FC, a football team based in Pago Pago, American Samoa. It currently plays in the country's top division, FFAS Senior League, competing with its own first team.^[2] It is unusual for a reserve team to compete in the same league as its first team, as this can lead to accusations of cheating, where the reserve team may be seen to let the first team win. This is the case in other leagues where B teams are allowed to compete, like Spain.^[3]
