USWNT Roster Announced for 2025 SheBelieves Cup

The U.S. women's national soccer team, under head coach Emma Hayes, has announced a 23-player roster for the 2025 SheBelieves Cup, featuring a mix of returning Olympic gold medalists and newcomers. Four players, including Tara McKeown and the Thompson sisters, are uncapped, highlighting Hayes's emphasis on expanding opportunities. Notably absent are the 'Triple Espresso' front line of Trinity Rodman, Mallory Swanson, and Sophia Wilson due to injuries and personal commitments, along with Rose Lavelle and Naomi Girma, both recovering from injuries. Catarina Macario, returning from a knee injury, rejoins the team after missing the 2024 Olympics. The tournament, running from February 20-26, will host matches against Colombia, Australia, and Japan across three U.S. cities. Hayes aims to utilize the tournament for player development and to test different squad combinations against formidable international opponents.
