The U.S. women's national soccer team is experiencing a period of significant transformation as many veteran players retire, leaving a youthful roster under head coach Emma Hayes. With a record of 23 first-time call-ups and an average of only 10 camps for many players, the transition from previous stars like Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe to a new generation is apparent. This unprecedented change raises questions about the team’s high standards and the preparation of these emerging players as they gear up for the 2027 World Cup.
"Sometimes we just assume that everybody knows what the demands or the standards are for a U.S. women's national team player."
"Hayes started the youngest USWNT lineup in 24 years against Brazil last month."
