"We are extremely excited to get back together with the team, Hayes said in a statement. There has been a big gap from July until now and we've watched many club games. Now, it's time to start the build towards qualifying for the 2027 World Cup. We want to maximize every minute we have together, push the players, and keep the momentum going. These three fantastic games ahead of us will help us do that."
"Hayes named 26 players but will only include 23 on the game-day roster. Goalkeepers Claudia Dickey (Seattle Reign) Mandy McGlynn (Utah Royals), Phallon Tullis-Joyce (Manchester United) Defenders Jordyn Bugg (Seattle Reign), Emily Fox (Arsenal), Lilly Reale (Gotham), Tara McKeown (Washington Spirit), Avery Patterson (Houston Dash), Emily Sams (Orlando Pride), Emily Sonnett (Gotham), Kennedy Wesley (San Diego Wave) Midfielders Sam Coffey (Portland Thorns), Lindsey Heaps (Lyon)"
Trinity Rodman returns to the United States women's national team for her first matches since April after a back issue. Emma Hayes named a 26-player roster for three October internationals against Portugal (23 and 26 October) and New Zealand (29 October). Europe-based players Catarina Macario, Emily Fox and Lindsey Heaps are included after missing the previous window to recover from long club seasons. Only 23 players will be on each game-day roster. The camp is positioned as the start of the build toward qualifying for the 2027 World Cup, with an emphasis on maximizing minutes and maintaining momentum.
