The U.S. Women’s National Team roster for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup has undergone significant changes since the 2019 tournament in France.
Gone are veteran standouts Abby Wambach, Carli Lloyd and Ali Krieger. In their places are 14 new players named to their first World Cup roster. Among them is 18-year-old Alyssa Thompson, the team’s youngest player.
The roster for this summer’s New Zealand and Australia-set tournament features players born in three different decades and includes some with just one cap and others with well over 100. They range from Thompson to to 38-year-old Megan Rapinoe, who has announced she will retire from competitive soccer. Though not likely to start, Rapinoe will likely make her 200th appearance for Team USA, becoming the 14th player in USWNT history to do so.
The U.S. Women’s National Team, ranked No. 1 in the world, holds the record for the most World Cup tournament wins, with four — including 2019 and 2015. A win this year would make it three in the row.
