With just 433 days until the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup in Brazil, the U.S. women's national team (USWNT) is finalizing its roster. Notable returns include striker Sophia Wilson, who has made a comeback after giving birth, and center-back Tierna Davidson, who is recovering from an ACL injury. Both players showcased their skills in recent matches against Japan, where the USWNT had a mixed record, winning one match and losing another. Head coach Emma Hayes is honing her squad, emphasizing a competitive goalkeeper battle between Claudia Dickey and Phallon Tullis-Joyce. Dickey appears to have the edge due to her distribution skills. The roster also features promising talents like Kennedy Wesley, who made a significant impact in her limited appearances. The midfield remains unchanged, with established players like Rose Lavelle and Sam Coffey, while the forward line is bolstered by Wilson's return and the potential of Cat Macario. As the team prepares, Hayes is focused on refining her selections to ensure a strong performance in the World Cup.
