AlexMorgan, Kelley O’Hara and Megan Rapinoe are heading to their fourth Women’s World Cup after being selected for this year’s tournament in Australia and New Zealand.

The trio were members of the team who won the World Cup in 2015 and 2019. Also included in head coach Vlatko Andonovski’s squad are Alyssa Naeher, Crystal Dunn, Emily Sonnett, Julie Ertz, Lindsey Horan and Rose Lavelle, who have a chance to win their second World Cup title after playing at the tournament in 2019.

“The task of selecting a World Cup Team is never easy, but I’m proud of the players for their work ethic and focus during the process and of our coaching staff for doing the work to put together the best team possible,” said Andonovski. “It’s the players that make the biggest impact on our environment, they push each other to be better and I know as a group they are extremely motivated to make our country proud at the World Cup. Every player has a different journey to get to this point so our roster has some amazing stories and we have a really good mix of veterans and younger players.”
