From the time they were youngsters growing up in Hansen, Mass., Kristie and Samantha Mewis planned to play in the Women’s World Cup.
Sam got there first, winning the 2019 title with the U.S., as Kristie recovered from injury. Now, it's Kristie’s turn, with the team preparing for the WWC in Australia and New Zealand July 20-Aug. 20.
With one month until the USA’s opening match of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, U.S. Women’s National Team head coach Vlatko Andonovski named on Wednesday the 23 players who will represent the United States in Australia and New Zealand this summer. The roster will not become official until it is submitted to FIFA on July 9 (July 10 in Australia and New Zealand), which is the deadline for all teams to submit their final squads.
