A trio of Angel City players, Gisele and Alyssa Thompson, along with teammate Angelina Anderson, have been called up to the U.S. women's national soccer team for upcoming friendlies against Ireland and Canada. This roster features a mix of experience levels, as it includes four players earning their first call-up. Coach Emma Hayes aims to improve player understanding and widen the talent pool. Despite the absence of several Europe-based players, the inclusion of veteran Rose Lavelle signals both continuity and a new focus on developing younger talent ahead of future competitions.
We want to continue to improve our understanding of how we want to play and widen the player pool, and those are some of the key goals of this three-game window.
On this roster, we have players with a varied amount of experience, and my priority is to deepen the exposures required for international soccer.
These are three challenging matches and as always, we want to win, but also to make sure we are ready for the next steps.
In 13 months, Hayes has given 27 players their first call-up to the senior national team.
