The USWNT is more than ready to compete and defend its World Cup title, so much so that they even made sure to mark their territory. Literally.
First stop is the hometown of Rose Lavelle: Cincinnati, Ohio. Lavelle has been a crucial part of this World Cup cycle and has been a dynamic and impactful midfielder. Her craftiness and vision on the field helped the U.S. defeat both South Africa and New Zealand in its Send-Off Series matches.
The Ohio native was honored with her own mural in downtown Cincinnati ahead of her trip to the 2019 Women's World Cup. She has been representing her country, as well as her hometown, by inspiring younger generations of female ballers to have hopes and dreams of playing for the national team.
Could you imagine having a mural of YOU painted on a building in downtown Cincinnati?! That just became a reality for @USWNT's @roselavelle. Watch her response. pic.twitter.com/TPeJ1gqCOH

In case the mural of Lavelle’s face wasn’t enough to get the U.S. pumped for the World Cup, if you head down to the New York City subway stop at 40th and 6th avenue, you’ll be blessed with the presence of the 23 USWNT World Cup players.
This is definitely one way to get the nation to support its team at the World Cup and one step closer to achieving the ultimate goal of equality. Now I’m just going to have to take a trip into the city to see these awesome ads.
Love seeing @USWNT all over NYC, including the subway stop at 40th and 6th ave. #OneNationOneTeam pic.twitter.com/45ZXl7SFpw

These are just a few places throughout the United States that are preparing themselves for the World Cup, starting on June 7. The support and exposure these female athletes are receiving is greater than it has ever been, and for young footballers to see their idols on buildings or in the subway in their own town shows how much women’s football is growing.
