Head coach Emma Hayes has named a 26-player roster for the United States Women's National Team ahead of April friendlies against Japan.
The biggest name is the return of Sophia Wilson. The striker makes her first USWNT roster in 17 months following her pregnancy and the birth of her daughter in early September of 2025. The 25-year-old Wilson has 58 caps for the USWNT along with 24 goals.
Also, defender Tierna Davidson was called up after making a complete recovery from an ACL injury suffered in NWSL play at the beginning of the 2025 season. She returns to the USWNT after a 13-month absence.
The roster is further headlined by the likes of Naomi Girma, Emily Sonnett, Sam Coffey, Lindsey Heaps, Claire Hutton, Rose Lavelle, Jaedyn Shaw, Lily Yohannes, Trinity Rodman, Ally Sentnor, and Alyssa Thompson.
“As our team continues to evolve, it will be great to welcome back Sophia and Tierna, who are not only great players but also contribute positively to our team environment,” said Hayes. “Japan is undoubtedly one of the top teams in the world, and they are performing at a very high level coming off their Asian Cup title, which was impressive to watch. Playing the same country three times in a row, and especially a team that is as dedicated to their style as Japan, will be a massive test for our team and I’m looking forward to seeing how our team handles the numerous challenges these games will present.”
