The legendary keeper announced her decision via social media, with the pair of upcoming friendlies against England and the Netherlands being her last ever caps for the USWNT.

NEW YORK — Women's soccer mogul Michele Kang will gift $30 million to U.S. Soccer, the sport's national governing body said on Tuesday, the largest donation ever directed for the organization's girls and women's programs.

The donation over the next five years will help grow competitive opportunities for girls and professional development for female players, as well as women in coaching and referee roles.

Naomi Girma had never scored for the United States women’s national team prior to Wednesday... She went on to score twice against Argentina during a friendly and nearly had a third as she forced an own goal.

On a night meant to honor Rose Lavelle with 100 appearances for the USWNT, the Girma goals vs Argentina stole the show as the world class defender turned into a lethal No. 9 in front of goal.

The USWNT showed they are also capable of getting the result while trailing on the scoreboard. Even with a plethora of substitutions.

Emma Hayes’ perfect record with the U.S. women’s national team will remain intact after yet another winning performance from the USWNT on Sunday, defeating Iceland 3-1 in their second and last head-to-head against this week at Geodis Park.

An amazing Alyssa Thompson goal vs Iceland opened the scoring for the United States women’s national team in their 3-1 victory on Thursday. The goal also marked Thompson’s first for the Stars and Stripes.

The USWNT went up against a compact and feisty Iceland side in their first game since the gold medal match at the Paris Olympics in August. 

Emma Hayes is ushering in the new era of the United States women’s national team with fresh faces on the October USWNT roster.

Hayes was required due to the USWNT’s CBA to call up all available players from the Paris Olympic roster, but she still brought in some new names and players we haven’t seen in over a year.

Here’s the 26-player roster that will play two friendlies against Iceland and one against Argentina this month.

Twila Kilgore, an assistant coach who served as the U.S. women's national team's interim coach for nine months, is leaving U.S. Soccer to pursue other coaching opportunities, the program said Tuesday.

Kilgore, who has also coached the U.S. U-19 and U-23 teams, took over the senior team in August 2023 when Vlatko Andonovski resigned the post.
