USWNT roster selected for January 2026 training camp, featuring 26 players

ATLANTA – U.S. Women’s National Team head coach Emma Hayes has named a 26-player January training camp to be held at the Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif.

The camp will conclude with matches against Paraguay on Jan. 24 at DHSP and Jan. 27 against Chile at Harder Stadium in Santa Barbara, Calif.

The roster features the return of forward Trinity Rodman, who played in just one USWNT match in 2025, a 2-0 victory over Brazil at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif. In that match, she scored the game-winning goal. Rodman, 23, has the most caps (47) and goals (11) of anyone on the roster. The other 22 field players on the roster have a combined 17 international goals. That match against Brazil was Rodman’s only USWNT appearance since the 2024 Olympic gold medal match on Aug. 10, 2024. Rodman is a Southern California native, growing up in Orange County, not far from DHSP.

As the January training camp falls outside a FIFA competition window, Hayes named a roster made up entirely of players from the National Women’s Soccer League, with Rodman currently unattached, including four first-time call-ups in forwards Maddie Dahlien (Seattle Reign FC) and Reilyn Turner (Portland Thorns FC) and midfielders Riley Jackson (North Carolina Courage) and Sally Menti (Seattle Reign FC). Dahlien and Jackson featured in all five U.S. U-23 WNT events in 2025 and were on the roster for the January 2025 Futures Camp in Florida. Menti was in two U.S. U-23 WNT camps last year.

Dahlien and Jackson also played key roles in the USA’s third-place finish at the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Colombia, a team that featured four additional players on this USWNT roster in defenders Jordyn Bugg and Gisele Thompson, midfielder Claire Hutton and forward Ally Sentnor, who returns from the senior team roster after helping lead the U.S. Under-23 WNT to wins over the Slovakia WNT (1-0) and England’s U-23s (4-2) during the last FIFA window. Sentnor scored in both matches.

(7 p.m. PT / 10 p.m. ET on TBS and HBO Max in English, Universo and Peacock in Spanish, and on the radio in English on Westwood One and in Spanish on Futbol de Primera).

“Once again, our roster presents opportunity, for the coaching staff to evaluate players and for some NWSL players we haven’t seen as much in the National Team environment, as well as for some first-time call-ups, to show they can contribute in 2026, 2027 or beyond,” said Hayes. “We’re looking forward to having a few more training days than usual in this camp as well as getting two matches to see this part of the player pool in game action and hopefully add even more depth and options for our 2026 SheBelieves Cup roster.”

Concurrently with the USWNT’s January training camp at DHSP, the U.S. Youth National Team staff will conduct a National Team Development Camp featuring players born between 2003-2008. The youth camps are part of the continued focus on the U.S. Way, which emphasizes increased programming for Youth National Teams to create more opportunities for young players to advance through the pathway to the senior National Team with the goal of representing their country at a world championship.

• The average age of this 26-player training camp roster is 24.1. The average age for the end-of-the-year matches against Italy was 24.8. The average age for the roster for the October 2025 matches was 24.6 and the roster for the 2025 summer matches against Ireland and Canada in June/July had an average age of 24.5.
• The average caps per player on this roster heading into the Paraguay match is just 6.6. There are five uncapped players on the roster.

• The roster for the June/July window was one of the most inexperienced, caps-wise, in the modern history of the USWNT and it averaged 10 caps per player more than this current January camp roster. The average number of caps per player at the beginning of that June/July window was 18.4. Excluding the six players with world championship experience, the average caps for the remainder of that roster was just 3.3.
• To date, Hayes has coached 30 matches for the USWNT and given 27 players their first senior team caps. Wesley was the 25th, Jameese Joseph was the 26th and Wiesner was the 27th.

• The former Tara McKeown got married in December of 2025 and will play under her married name – Rudd – for the first time during this camp, as she returns to the roster after not playing in the final two matches of the October FIFA window and not being selected for the final roster of last year.
• Forward Yazmeen Ryan, who has the second-most caps on the roster with 15, returns to the roster after not being selected for the final FIFA window of 2025.
• Fourteen of the 26 players on this training camp roster played for the USA in a FIFA youth World Cup, emphasizing the importance of the YNT pathway to the senior National Team as well as the importance of the NWSL and other pro leagues in helping players reach their full potential.
• Racing Louisville forward Emma Sears ended the 2025 NWSL season with 10 goals, making her the top American goal scorer in the league. Olivia Moultrie had eight NWSL regular season goals for Portland Thorns FC.
• No players from 2025 NWSL champion Gotham FC were available for selection due to the club’s participation in the 2026 FIFA Women’s Champions Cup in England at the end of the month. Gotham will face Corinthians of Brazil in the semifinal on Jan. 28 with the championship game on Feb. 1.
• The three goalkeepers in camp have a total of 10 career caps. Claudia Dickey of Seattle Reign FC has six after starting the last four matches while Mandy McGlynn of the Utah Royals has four. Jordan Silkowitz, who gets her second call-up, is one of the four uncapped players in camp.
• There will be just one teenager in training camp in Jordyn Bugg (who turns 20 in August) as Claire Hutton turns 20 on Jan. 11, 2006.

• Of the uncapped players…
  • Dahlien earns her first senior team call-up after featuring in all five U.S. U-23 WNT training camps in 2025 as well as the Futures Camp that kicked off the year. She played in all four U-23 internationals in 2025 and had one goal with two assists. Dahlien scored twice in the 2024 FIFA Under-20 Women’s World Cup and also created the Netherlands own goal that won the Third-Place Match. She also set up the dramatic equalizer against Germany in the quarterfinal that capped a legendary comeback in which the USA scored in the 97th and 98th minutes to tie the match, then won in penalty kicks after overtime. She was a finalist for NWSL Rookie of the Year and scored four goals with four assists. Three of her four goals were game winners for Seattle Reign FC.
  • Jackson also earns her first senior team call-up after featuring in all five U.S. U-23 WNT training camps in 2025 as well as the Futures Camp that kicked off the year. The captain of the USA’s 2022 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup Team in India, she started all seven games at the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Colombia and was fourth on the team in minutes played as the young Americans took third, their best finish in 12 years. After playing just 306 minutes for the NC Courage during her rookie year, Jackson played 1,970 minutes in 2025, starting 23 of the 25 matches she played in while scoring two goals with one assist.
  • Turner attended the January 2025 Futures Camp and the U.S. U-23 WNT training camp in Los Angeles in April. For Portland Thorns FC in 2025, she started 23 of the 26 regular season matches she played spanning 1,952 minutes. She scored six goals with one assist.
  • This is just the third international call-up ever for Jordan Silkowitz, whose first USWNT call-up was for the USWNT’s December matches vs. Italy. Her first U.S. National Team call-up came in the summer of 2025 when she traveled to Germany with the U.S. U-23s as an overage player and saw action in one match. Formerly of the KC Current, and after doing a stint with the Brisbane Roar in Australia’s A-League, she played in 24 matches for Bay FC in 2025, her second in the NWSL.
  • Sally Menti was named to the USA’s 2022 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup Team, but a serious knee injury in training prior to the start of the tournament ruled her out of that competition. An injury also knocked her out of qualifying for that World Cup. She played in the first match at the 2022 Concacaf Women’s U-20 Championship but broke her wrist at the end of that match and missed the rest of the tournament. She ended her U-20 WNT career with seven caps and one goal. She missed the 2022 college season due to the knee injury, but finished an excellent career at Santa Clara University in 2024 having scored 11 goals with 24 assists from the midfield in 74 career games. She signed her first professional contract with Seattle Reign FC in March of 2025, a short-term deal through June, but after impressing, signed a multi-year extension. She ended up playing 16 matches spanning 999 minutes and scored one goal with one assist. Menti was at two U.S. U-23 WNT camps in 2025, coming to the camp in Los Angeles in March and to Denver in June . Menti has also played for the USA at the U-16, U-17 and U-19 levels.
• The USA begins its 41st year of competition with the match against Paraguay.
• Thirteen players on the roster made their USWNT debuts in 2025: Bugg, Dickey, Hutton, Joseph, LaBonta, Rudd, Sam Meza, Patterson, Lilly Reale, Izzy Rodriguez, Gisele Thompson, Kennedy Wesely and Wiesner.
• Meza, who earned her first USWNT call-up during the June/July window, where she also received her first cap, is a rare player who has won a Concacaf title at the U-15, U-17 and U-20 levels for the USA. She would likely have played in a U-20 Women’s World Cup, but her age group saw their World Cup cancelled due to the global pandemic. Meza also earned two caps with the U.S. U-23 WNT in 2022 and, as one of five allowed overage players, was a part of the roster for the U.S. U-23 WNT trip to Germany in 2025 when the Americans split games with the Germans.
• Eight players who have earned U.S. U-23 WNT minutes in 2025 are on this roster: Bugg, Dahlien, Jackson, Joseph, Meza, Ally Sentnor, Thompson and Wesley.
