The US Women's National Team has named its January camp roster. The group will play friendly games against Paraguay and Chile in California.
Head coach Emma Hayes has called 26 players to the January training camp. The camp includes a game against Paraguay on 24 January in Carson, California, and another against Chile on 27 January in Santa Barbara, California. All players come from National Women's Soccer League clubs because the camp takes place outside the official FIFA match window.
Trinity Rodman is back on the USWNT roster for the first time since 2025. She joins the team as a free agent after her last club contract ended. Rodman has a strong record with the national team and once scored the winning goal in a match against Brazil. She leads this roster with 47 caps and 11 goals and is expected to be a key attacking option. After a difficult year with injuries, her return is an important step for her career and for the team.
The camp includes four players who have been called up for the first time. Forwards Maddie Dahlien and Reilyn Turner, and midfielders Riley Jackson and Sally Menti, will train and play with the senior team for the first time. Dahlien and Jackson played in U.S. Under-23 games last year and now move up to the top level. Turner comes in after a strong club season in which she scored six goals. The staff will watch closely to see how these players adjust to the higher level.
Emma Hayes said this roster gives players a chance to earn spots in future events. She wants to use the extra training days and the two friendlies to test different lineups and roles. Hayes also aims to build more depth in every position ahead of the SheBelieves Cup in March. The camp will help her see which players can handle the speed, pressure, and tactics of international play.
The squad will first gather in Carson, California, for several days of training. After the friendlies against Paraguay and Chile, the staff will review game video and fitness data. The goal is to set a strong base for the SheBelieves Cup in early March. Players who perform well in this camp and in the two matches could secure a place in that tournament roster.
