The roster includes two midfielders – 2023 NWSL Rookie of the Year Jenna Nighswonger and Paris Saint-Germain’s Korbin Albert – selected for their first full national team training camp.
The roster does mark the return of veteran defender Abby Dahlkemper, who returned to the field after recovering from major back surgery to help the San Diego Wave win the 2023 NWSL regular season title. Dahlkemper, a starter on the 2019 Women’s World Cup title winning team, has 79 caps but this is her first call-up since April of 2022. Defender Tierna Davidson, the youngest member of the 2019 World Cup champions, also returns after recovering from a facial injury sustained during NWSL play. Davidson, who suffered a torn ACL in March of 2022, was not part of the USA’s 2023 World Cup roster but returned to action for the USWNT in September of 2023. Midfielder Rose Lavelle makes her first roster since the end of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup after also overcoming injury.
The roster includes two players who have earned first caps and scored first WNT goals this fall in 19-year-old forward Jaedyn Shaw, who hails from Frisco, Texas and will be enjoying a homecoming of sorts during the second match, and forward Mia Fishel, who dramatically scored in her hometown of San Diego on Oct. 29 in a 3-0 win over Colombia, the same game in which Shaw tallied her first.
