Lily Yohannes, 17, picks USWNT over Netherlands
Briefly

"I want to extend my deepest gratitude to the United States and Dutch Football Federations for their unwavering support and patient guidance as I made my decision regarding my international future. Their dedication and encouragement have been invaluable, and I extend my heartfelt thanks to both Federations."
"After much consideration, I have decided to commit to represent my country, the United States. The U.S. is my homeland, my birthplace, and where my extended family resides. These strong connections have driven me to honor my roots and proudly commit to U.S. soccer."
"We have to be mindful she's a really young player, and has been playing her domestic club football in the Netherlands. So, understandably, she wants to take the time at her age and her stage before she makes a decision."
"Yohannes already made her debut for the U.S. in June 2024, scoring in the SheBelieves Cup game against South Korea within 10 minutes to become the third youngest goal scorer in USWNT history."
