The teams will then travel south to meet again on Monday, Dec. 1 at Chase Stadium in Ft.

“It’s been an exciting and important year for our group, and we’ve accomplished a lot of goals, expanded the player pool and made strides in our game model, so this camp will be an extension of that, but it will also set the groundwork for 2026, which will be our World Cup qualifying year,” said Hayes. “Games against top European teams are so valuable as they give us an honest assessment of where we are in our growth as a team, so I know our players with embrace that challenge.”
The roster features the return of Olympic gold medalist Naomi Girma, who has been hampered by injuries during her time at Chelsea FC in England but started the Blues’ UEFA Women’s Champions League win over St. Polten on Nov. 11 and then played 45 minutes against Liverpool last weekend in Women's Super League play.
The roster features seven changes from the squad that participated in the October friendlies and includes two first-time call-ups in Bay FC goalkeeper Jordan Silkowitz and Chicago Stars forward Jameese Joseph. The other uncapped player is long-time U.S. YNT player and Washington Spirit defender Kate Wiesner, who earns her second USWNT call-up after being named as a training player during Hayes’ first training camp in June of 2024.
Additional Notes:
- The average age of this 26-player training camp roster is 24.8. The average age for the roster for the October matches was 24.6 and the roster for the summer matches against Ireland and Canada in June/July had an average age of 24.5.
- The roster averages 27.5 caps per player heading into the first match. The roster for the October matches averaged 27.3 caps per player.
- The roster for the June/July window was one of the most inexperienced, caps-wise, in the modern history of the USWNT. The average number of caps per player at the beginning of the window was just 18.4. Excluding the six players with world championship experience, the average caps for the remainder of the roster was just 3.3.
- Defender Naomi Girma returns to the roster after missing the last FIFA window due to injury with her last match being the 3-0 win over Canada on July 2. The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup and 2024 Olympic veteran has played in just four matches of the USA’s 13 matches in 2025, starting them all.
- The roster also marks the return of Gotham FC midfielder Jaelin Howell to the USWNT. Howell earned her USWNT debut on November 27, 2020, vs. the Netherlands as the sporting world emerged from the global pandemic becoming, along with childhood teammate Sophia Smith (now Wilson), one of the first players born after the 1999 FIFA Women’s World Cup to earn a USWNT cap.
- Howell last played for the USA on April 9, 2022, vs. Uzbekistan, a match in which she scored her first and thus far only USWNT goal. She was on the roster for the USA’s trip to Europe in October of 2022 but did not see action. This is her first call-up since that trip, a span of 37 months between call-ups.
- The seven players who will travel into camp after contesting the 2025 NWSL Championship are Lilly Reale, Emily Sonnett, Jaedyn Shaw, Jaelin Howell and Rose Lavelle from Gotham FC and Kate Wiesner and Croix Bethune from the Washington Spirit.
- Fifteen of the 26 players on the training camp roster played for the USA in a FIFA youth World Cup.
- To date, Hayes has coached 28 matches for the USWNT and given 25 players their first senior team caps.
- Racing Louisville forward Emma Sears ended the 2025 NWSL season with 10 goals, making her the top American goal scorer in the league. Olivia Moultrie had eight NWSL regular season goals for Portland Thorns FC.
- On Oct. 26 vs. Portugal, Moultrie scored her second career brace for the USWNT, tallying in the first and 10 minutes of the 3-1 win.
- On Oct. 29 vs. New Zealand, Sears scored her first career hat trick in the USA’s 6-0 win, quadrupling her career USWNT goals. She’s the 26th player all-time to score an exact hat trick for the USWNT.
- This is the second consecutive call-up for midfielder Jaedyn Shaw, who returns to the roster after spending two FIFA windows earlier in the year with the U.S. U-23 WNT. She has 29 USWNT caps and eight career goals. She scored in her first five USWNT starts, the first USWNT player to achieve that feat.
- This is the second call-up for San Diego Wave defender Kennedy Wesley, who earned her first start and cap in the 6-0 win over New Zealand on Oct. 29 in Kansas City, Mo. She became the 25th player to earn a first cap under Emma Hayes.
- This is also a second senior team call-up for Kansas City Current defender Izzy Rodriguez, who made her USWNT debut during the summer window, and an auspicious debut it was, as she scored against the Republic of Ireland on June 29 to become the 24th player to score in their first USWNT cap.
- The three goalkeepers in camp have a total of eight career caps. Both Mandy McGlynn of the Utah Royals and Seattle Reign FC netminder Claudia Dickey have four each. Dickey started two of the three matches for the USA in the last FIFA window.
- Goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce, who has four USWNT career caps, was ruled out of this camp with a facial injury suffered while playing with Manchester United.
- Six players on the roster are playing their professional club soccer in Europe, four in England and two in France. All are currently playing in the UEFA Women’s Champions League with Lindsey Heaps and Lily Yohannes of OL Lyonnes in second place in the league phase format, Catarina Macario, Girma and Alyssa Thompson’s Chelsea FC in fourth place and Emily Fox’s Arsenal FC in 11th.
- Macario scored twice for Chelsea in its most recent champions league win over St. Polten while Fox scored in Arsenal’s loss to Bayern Munich.
- There will be three teenagers in training camp in Yohannes (who at 18 years and five months old is the youngest player in camp), Jordyn Bugg and Claire Hutton, who are both 19. Moultrie turned 20 on Sept. 17.
- There are 20 players on the roster in their 20s and just three in their 30s: Lindsey Heaps, Rose Lavelle and Emily Sonnett.
- Heaps (160 caps, 38 goals) and Lavelle (115, 27) come into the camp as the most-capped players and top goal scorers on the roster.
- Of the uncapped players…
- Defender Kate Wiesner played for the USA at the 2016 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup and helped the USA qualify for the 2018 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup but was ruled out of that tournament due to a knee injury. She also has seen training time with the U.S. U-15s, U-19s and five events with the U.S. U-23s. She has played in 13 matches for the Washington Spirit this season with one goal.
- Forward Jameese Joseph earned call-ups at the U-14 GNT level, earned two U-20 caps in 2022 and was also in the 2025 Futures Camp in Florida, making her eighth player from that camp to see time with the senior USWNT this year. She was also with the U.S. U-23 WNT this year for its March camp in Los Angeles, its May trip to Germany (but did not see action due to an injury) and its October camp in Philadelphia. She scored four goals for the Chicago Stars this season, good for second on the team.
- This is just the second-ever international call-up for Jordan Silkowitz. Her first U.S. National Team call-up came this summer when she traveled to Germany with the U.S. U-23s as an overage player and saw action in one match. Formerly of the KC Current, and after doing a stint with the Brisbane Roar in Australia’s A-League, she played in 24 matches for Bay FC this past season, her second in the NWSL.
- In a fun historical note, the matches to end the USA’s 40th year of competition will be against the opponent who started the first. Italy, currently ranked 12th in the world, was the opponent for the first international match in USWNT history in 1985, a 1-0 victory for the Italians. Since then, the USA and Italy have not met often, just 15 times over the past 40 years. The U.S. leads the overall record between the two teams 10W-4L-1D.
- These matches will be the first against Le Azzurre in 15 years and the match in Orlando will take place almost 15 years to the day since the most recent meeting, which was on Nov. 27, 2010, a 1-0 victory in Bridgeview, Ill. in the second leg of the Women’s World Cup playoff series. The USA defeated Italy, 2-0, on aggregate to advance to the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
