USWNT 2025 SheBelieves Cup Roster Announced
U.S. Women’s National Team head coach Emma Hayes has named the 23-played roster for the 2025 SheBelieves Cup.
U.S. Women’s National Team head coach Emma Hayes has named the 23-played roster for the 2025 SheBelieves Cup. The roster consists of 21 field players and two goalkeepers.
This tournament will be the 10th annual SheBelieves Cup, and the USA has won the past five.
“This team is still growing, and I continue to be impressed with the dedication of our player pool to get better, individually and as a group,” said Hayes. “With many players at the beginning of their club preseasons, we’ll be patient with them but at the same time, we’re going to maximize the time we have together. We are facing three excellent teams with three very different styles and the tournament will be a great test to see who can perform against world-class players, but to see that, we need to give them opportunities. We have put in a lot of thought on how best to accomplish that while continuing to evolve and putting out a team that can win, so every game should be a lot of fun for the staff, the players and the fans.”
The roster is headlined by the likes of Crystal Dunn, Lindsey Heaps, and the return of Catarina Macario. Claire Hutton and Michelle Cooper have also earned their first-ever USWNT call-ups.

Jane Campbell (Houston Dash) Mandy McGlynn (Utah Royals)
DEFENDERS (8): Tierna Davidson (NJ/NY Gotham FC), Crystal Dunn (Paris Saint-Germain), Emily Fox (Arsenal FC, ENG), Tara McKeown (Washington Spirit), Jenna Nighswonger (Arsenal FC, ENG), Emily Sams (Orlando Pride), Emily Sonnett (NJ/NY Gotham FC), Gisele Thompson (Angel City FC)

Sonnett, who earned her 100th cap on Oct. 24, 2024, against Iceland in Austin, Texas, will be honored for the achievement prior the opening match of the tournament on Feb. 20 vs. Colombia. She is the 45th USWNT player to reach that milestone.

I love our USWNT. Excited to watch them again!
