CHICAGO (March 27, 2025) – U.S. Women’s Futsal National Team head coach Diego Burato has called up 19 players for the team’s domestic training camp to take place April 1-6 at the Darlington School in Rome, Ga. The camp represents the last chance to impress Burato and his staff before they select the final 14-player roster for the inaugural Concacaf W Futsal Championship to be held April 28-May 4 in Guatemala City, Guatemala.
“The upcoming domestic training camp holds significant importance as it marks our final opportunity to select our roster ahead of the Concacaf World Cup Qualifiers,” Burato said. “Our previous preparation in Costa Rica proved to be highly beneficial, allowing us to solidify our team's identity. As we move forward, we remain optimistic about our expectation; however, it is crucial that we prepare the team to handle a variety of scenarios. By preparing comprehensively, we aim to ensure that our team is well-prepared to face any challenges that may arise during the qualifiers.”
The squad headed to Rome features 14 players that took part in the Futsal WNT’s first-ever international matches at Costa Rica in February where the team earned 2-0 and 5-0 wins before playing to a 2-2 draw. Leading the list of returning players is Jeannette Fieldsend (Charlotte, N.C.), who scored four goals in the three matches against Las Ticas. She’s joined by fellow goal-scorers Carlie Banks (Peachtree City, Ga.), Emanuelly Ferreira (Lowell, Mass.) and Sarah Martin (Bowie, Md.), as well as goalkeepers Ellie Goodrich (Alexandria, Va.) and Martha Lord (Bedford, N.H.), who combined for two shutouts in the three historic games.
Roxy Kamal (San Jose, Calif.), who took part in the first full Futsal WNT camp last July, along with Lauren Sayler (Bismark, N.D.), who participated this January, also return along with Jessica Johnson (Florham Park, N.J.), who was involved during the team’s talent identification process. Burato has also called in two new players in Ashley Henderson (Memphis, Tenn.) and Kiersen Korienek (Houghton, Mich.)
As the team aims to qualify for the inaugural FIFA Futsal Women’s World Cup this November in the Philippines, the USA will open the confederation championship against the winner of a Play-In match between Honduras and Nicaragua (April 29), before taking on Costa Rica (April 30) and finish group play against Canada (May 1). From there, the top two teams advance to the semifinals on May 3, with the winners qualifying for the Philippines and advancing to the final the following day.
