USWNT ‘on track' to meet Emma Hayes' June deadline for establishing a core group of players
ST. PAUL, Minn. — As a year without a major tournament, 2025 has sometimes felt listless when watching the U.S. women's national team. That isn't an indictment of their quality or caliber — far from it. Since winning the gold medal at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, head coach Emma Hayes has undergone a thorough examination of the broader player pool beyond the core she inherited from predecessor Vlatko Andonovski. A year into the job, Hayes has already given 23 players their USWNT debuts, and three more players could earn their first cap in this window. Advertisement After a few months of analysis, Hayes is narrowing down her squad. Earlier this year, Hayes said she hoped to identify her core group of players for the buildup to the 2027 Women's World Cup. She affirmed that timeline on Friday at Allianz Field ahead of Saturday's friendly against China. 'I feel we're very much on track for identifying that core group,' Hayes said. 'It's important not to get too drawn in on identifying 23 players; the pool has to be bigged up because of injury, because of illness, because of pregnancy, because of whatever. My job is to develop a larger group of players that, by the time we reach a tournament setting, have been given the right exposure to put ourselves in the best position possible.' Throughout this window, the majority of focus will be on the senior team. However, Hayes was quick to point out the ongoing camps involving the under-20 and under-23 teams as well. The U-20s kicked off the Concacaf Under-20 Women's Championship on Friday with a dominant win over Guyana, while the U-23s defeated Germany with a last-minute goal in the first of a pair of friendlies. That U.S. squad is almost entirely built of professional players — the lone college player, Evelyn Shores, scored the winner on Friday. The U-23 camp has a few members of Hayes' broader player pool: Jaedyn Shaw, Korbin Albert and Mia Fishel made the trip to Germany. While they'll be playing away from the senior squad, this camp gives this trio and other more established professionals a chance to showcase their leadership. 'Think about Jaedyn Shaw, Korbin Albert — 20, 21, respectively — being accelerated from youth football to senior football without that step,' Hayes said. 'Sometimes I think we expect so much from them, and they're still inexperienced players that maybe need a little bit more time in that age group. Advertisement 'I think we need to remain patient with the squad. I've seen so much development. I always view things tactically: How well are our players understanding what we're asking, and how well are they applying it?' Hayes praised her 'great group of senior players' who have continued to establish benchmarks for newcomers to meet. Lindsey Heaps is once again captain for this camp, while vice captain Naomi Girma returns to the national team for the first time in 2025, having previously dealt with minor injuries and a move to Chelsea. Five members of the 23-player squad have over 60 caps with the USWNT: Heaps, Lynn Biyendolo, Crystal Dunn, Emily Sonnett and Emily Fox. They have been in multiple camps this year, giving some continuity in a time of heavy rotation. Even if there's some understandable desire to slow this merry-go-round of selections from window to window, it's all part of the buildup to the 2027 Women's World Cup and 2028 Olympics. 'It's a crazy time, because we're obviously missing a lot (of players), but I think it's crucial for us to see who else can be in that major player pool,' Heaps said. 'This is how it works, and how the cycle works, and I think it's given us the ability to really look at these youngsters coming up and stars coming up, which is really special.' Advertisement Unique to this camp, Hayes has called up a player who is both a rookie and an experienced leader. Lo'eau LaBonta, 32, has been among the NWSL's best all-around midfielders since the Kansas City Current debuted in 2021. Hayes previously said her staff 'agonized' over whether or not to give LaBonta her debut as part of last summer's 18-player Olympic squad, but she has now found an ideal window to bring her into the fold. Several members of the 2023 World Cup and 2024 Olympic squads remain out due to injury reasons (as is the case for Trinity Rodman and Rose Lavelle), pregnancy (Mallory Swanson and Sophia Wilson) or both (Andi Sullivan). Hayes acknowledged these factors have undeniably altered her planning for each window. 'I can only pick available players. People often ask me, 'Where is this player?' ' Hayes said, 'A lot of the time, they're unavailable.' But having a player like LaBonta, who captains her club and has played at a high level for years, gives a different kind of leadership for young players to study. Advertisement 'Lo'eau's situation should serve as a reminder to everyone that we watch every game and that we are invested in what you're doing, day in, day out,' Hayes said. 'Age is just a number. She's fit, she's healthy, she's someone who's always striving, and I've heard her speak a number of times. Even her self-awareness, she's someone who constantly sees that there's room for improvement in what she's doing. 'You take someone like Lily Yohannes, at 17, or Claire Hutton, at 19, there's still a gap. (LaBonta is) a way to close that, and I think she could be a good role model for Lily, for Claire.' LaBonta has relished the opportunity. She referred to club teammates (and, now, international teammates) Hutton and Michelle Cooper as 'her babies,' a title of endearment that she extended to Yohannes when speaking in the mixed zone on Friday. Still, she isn't here to be an extension of the coaching staff in the heart of the park. As Hayes acknowledged, LaBonta is in the mix to make additional squads moving forward. While the veteran expected a different kind of atmosphere in a 10-day camp, where, as Hayes said, 'you can't waste a session,' even LaBonta had to appreciate how it feels to participate in these windows. Advertisement 'I would say what I expected, but I didn't even know until I was in it, was the level and speed,' LaBonta said.'I think at the professional level, we have Vlatko (Andonovski) coming from U.S. Soccer at our club. We're like, 'Oh, he demands standards,' but here it's just even quicker. I love it so much. I'm out there like, 'I need to bring this back to my club.' I would have loved to develop in this environment, but I'm here now, and I'm enjoying it.' While Hayes is undeniably a studious tactician, introducing new members with each successive window can complicate some of that coding. The game relies heavily on combinations, whether it's the relationship between the goalkeeper and their backline, how a defensive unit operates or how a midfield duo or trio works in tandem. As such, much of the education process is ensuring each player knows their role, with the next step being to foster those relationships. Even for someone as young as Yohannes, those instructions have come through clearly. 'Emma makes it clear what she expects from me, as well as for the team,' Yohannes said. 'Every camp, we just continue to build on that. With every different opponent and different style of play, we try to adapt, and that's just something that you try to bring into a game to help the team.' Advertisement As has become customary since Yohannes' emergence, Hayes urged for patience before piling expectations onto the 17-year-old midfielder. Still, Hayes pointed out how valuable her time with Ajax has been in helping her learn how to operate against teams playing with mid-to-low defensive blocks — a defensive structure that the U.S. often faces as opponents hope to slow their progress into the final third. Given all the changes, the World Cup still feels far away — perhaps even more distant than the 754 days between Saturday's friendly and the tournament opener in Brazil can illustrate. Still, those plans in identifying a core group of players remain on track as far as Hayes is concerned, as are the broader initiatives she and her backroom staff have undertaken to ensure that she leaves the program better than she found it last summer. 'I can't believe I've only been here a year, to be honest with you,' Hayes said. 'When I reflect on the work that's being done by so many people, it's so exciting to think, if I'm to fast forward to 2031, the work and the impact that everybody's having now for the future of the game. 'I think what we are putting together is a system so that it goes beyond just a pipeline of players. It's a support system around girls and women that I think will take our game up a notch.'

Three NWSL trades that could define the 2025 season
Shocking trades used to be a staple of the NWSL offseason. Thankfully, these moves will no longer surprise the players themselves, with the league agreeing to new rules that require players' consent to get moved. This long overdue transition away from the stone age means that everyone who changed teams this offseason did so because they wanted to, and there were still plenty of major moves. A handful of those players looked for a change in order to reinvigorate their careers after 2024 didn't go according to their plans. Here are three of the biggest moves, and what you can expect from them on their new teams. San Diego Wave to North Carolina Courage Jaedyn Shaw is just 20, and she's already an extremely accomplished professional. She boasts 24 caps and eight goals for the USWNT, an Olympic gold medal, and an NWSL Shield and Challenge Cup. However, a tumultuous club situation has caused a career plateau. She's hoping that a change of scenery will make that plateau a very short one. It's very difficult, bordering on unfair, to judge any San Diego Wave player on their production last season. Head coach Casey Stoney was fired midseason, and was followed by two separate interim bosses who failed to improve the team's form. Former club president Jill Ellis has been sued for alleged discrimination and harassment, and has countersued one of her former employees for alleged defamation of character. These legal cases are ongoing, and Ellis has since departed San Diego for a job at Fifa. It is not yet clear in legal terms who bears responsibility for a poor working environment at the Wave, but in less than legal terms, it is plainly obvious that the vibes were bad. North Carolina have capitalized on the situation, sending $450,000 plus potential add-ons to San Diego to acquire Shaw. The combination of off-the-pitch issues, limited personnel and a relatively defensive style of play made it difficult for Shaw to show off her talents in 2024. She was a respectable, but not spectacular 55th percentile in expected assists and 50th percentile in shot-creating actions relative to other midfielders in the 'top nine' leagues tracked by FBRef. The fact that Shaw was San Diego's leading scorer with four goals while she was expected to be the team's top playmaker highlights the problem by itself – she lacked great attacking options to pass to, and had to do a lot herself. Shaw was a stunningly low 10th percentile in progressive passes received, though that could be down just as much to her teammates struggling to get her the ball in the final third as it was to any deficiency in her game. This will be an interesting thing to keep an eye on in North Carolina – was this a San Diego-specific problem, or is movement off the ball to make herself available for passes an area of Shaw's game that needs significant work? Shaw was also just eighth percentile in progressive carries, and needs to become more of a threat to break lines with her dribbling to become a truly elite advanced playmaker. As good as Shaw is, her fit with the Courage isn't obvious. She doesn't seem to solve any existing problem they had, but I understand why they didn't care. If you're told Shaw is on the move and you're one of the teams she's willing to join, you make an offer, period. Prior to last season, she looked like one of the world's best young playmaking talents. Courage head coach Sean Nahas now has an interesting puzzle on his hands: how does he get so many true No 10s to fit together? Incumbent central attacking midfielder Ashley Sanchez was arguably the team's best player last season, and faced a similar problem to Shaw – she was the team's leading scorer while ostensibly being the main playmaker. Manaka Matsukubo and Shinomi Koyama have also played most of their professional minutes in a No 10 role, and will need to get comfortable in different positions to lock down starting jobs. North Carolina may be a much different cultural and emotional situation for Shaw, but many of the on-pitch concerns are the same. Can the deeper-lying midfielders get the ball to her in dangerous areas? Does she have an effective center forward to set up for chances? For Shaw to get back to her best with the Courage, some of her teammates will need to show new dimensions to their game we haven't seen before. Bay FC to Angel City The NWSL abolished the draft this season, meaning graduating college players can negotiate to sign with any team they want. Savy King was taken second overall by Bay FC a year before this change, and requested a trade to her hometown team this offseason. Bay obliged, sending King to Angel City for $300,000. King is just 20 and has played 33 times for the USWNT at under-17 and under-20 level, starting at left-back during last summer's Under-20 World Cup. Her situation is similar to Shaw's – it's easy to see why Angel City would want to acquire her, but it's not clear if she'll be able to win a starting job for the team. Incumbent left-back MA Vignola has been a bright spot for Angel City over the last two seasons, earning her USWNT debut in 2023. She's suffered from some injuries, so it makes sense that Angel City would want some additional cover at the position, but King is unlikely to be handed a first-choice role off the bat. Last season, King began the year as Bay's starting left-back, then left for the U-20 World Cup and did not regain her position after returning. She didn't make a start over the final 10 games of the season. King is a high volume ball-winner and talented one-on-one defender. She was in the 90th percentile in tackles + interceptions and in the 89th percentile in tackles won percentage, according to FBRef. But she still has a lot of developing to do as a positional, off-ball defender – as you'd expect for a 20-year-old – and did not make much of a positive contribution in possession last season. Sign up to Moving the Goalposts No topic is too small or too big for us to cover as we deliver a twice-weekly roundup of the wonderful world of women's football after newsletter promotion In several important on-ball metrics, King was one of the weakest full-backs in NWSL last season. She was in the eighth percentile for progressive carries, sixth percentile for successful take-ons, and 10th percentile for expected assists. Her 49th percentile progressive passes mark is a bit more promising, though still not great. Angel City probably wouldn't have paid $300,000 for King if they didn't evaluate her as being talented enough on the ball that she can improve significantly in those areas. But there's no question that she's a project player who is not currently NWSL starter level in possession. She's moved to a team who have an interim head coach and have not yet named a future permanent head coach, which doesn't sound like the best situation for a raw young talent in need of significant development. It is way, way too early to think of King as a bust. I wouldn't be willing to make that declaration yet even if she had a poor 2025. But she's someone who was recently seen as a future USWNT left-back, is not currently on that path, and does not appear to be in the right situation to get back there. Gotham FC to Houston Dash While Shaw and King's situations shared major similarities, Yazmeen Ryan's transfer to the Houston Dash couldn't be any more different. Ryan has spent her career as a utility player, filling in where needed for championship-winning clubs. She heads to a Houston team that does not appear to be anywhere close to that standard, but where she's expected to be the star and centerpiece of the team's attack. Ryan has played just about everywhere in the attacking half of the pitch. She's been a box-to-box midfielder, a shuttler in a diamond formation, a cut-inside left-winger, and a more traditional up-and-down right-winger who's expected to deliver crosses. That last role is the one she played in her USWNT start during SheBelieves Cup, and in a recent preseason match for Houston. Given the Dash's current tactics and personnel, that runs the risk of leaving Ryan rather isolated. In their matches that were open to the public, Houston have been playing the hybrid back 4-to-3 system that's been en vogue in NWSL in recent seasons, in which one full-back charges forward to join the attack, and the other tucks in close to the center-backs. In their case, the more defensive of the full-backs has been the right-back, and as a result, Houston had an easier time progressing the ball up the left side. Because of her use as a utility player on good teams, Ryan doesn't have a lot of standout stats, either positive or negative. She has been very good at moving the ball from the middle to the final third for Gotham, ranking in the 80th percentile for progressive passes and in the 73rd percentile for progressive carries, according to FBRef. Ryan was in the 28th percentile for xG and in the 55th percentile for xA last year, and those numbers going up significantly is a precondition for Houston moving up the table and challenging for a playoff spot. The center-forwards that Ryan will be playing with – Diana Ordoñez and Messiah Bright – are both excellent back-to-goal hold-up players, but neither are particularly great at running in behind center-backs. Houston will be extremely dependent on finding the feet of those players on the edge of the 18-yard area for effective one-two combinations that end with Ryan carrying the ball into the box. She'll probably want to do a bit more crossing than the average winger as well, with Ordoñez and Bright both being excellent headers of the ball. Houston are also not exactly loaded with mobile attacking midfield or left-wing talent. That combined with the strikers being more target forwards than players who can create their own shot means that the entire attack basically depends on Ryan being an all-around threat, all the time. I hope she's up for a challenge.

USWNT midfielder Jaedyn Shaw reflects on trade to Courage: ‘I just wanted to be playing a certain style'
One month after being traded to the North Carolina Courage, Jaedyn Shaw is back in San Diego with the U.S. women's national team. The former Wave midfielder, who was traded to the Courage in January, was with the U.S. women's national team at San Diego FC's brand-new performance center in El Cajon, Calif., on Tuesday, as the team prepared for its final match of the SheBelieves Cup. Advertisement Speaking with reporters on Tuesday, Shaw shared why she felt it was the right decision for her to leave the club when she did. 'For me, I just wanted to be playing a certain style,' Shaw said. 'I think being in this environment (with the USWNT) has helped me see that and know what parts of my game that I need to push, and I think, for me, that was kind of the biggest part, just knowing what part of my game that I wanted to continue to push and drive. 'Hopefully, that helps me in this environment,' she said. 'It's kind of my mindset around it, so I think it was a lot of that. So, yeah, I'm really happy with my decision.' Shaw began her NWSL career in San Diego, signing with the Wave when she was 17. In 2023, the midfielder helped the Wave win its first-ever NWSL Shield. During her tenure with the team, Shaw tallied 61 appearances, 14 goals and four assists. 'There's so many memories,' Shaw said. 'I feel like I've grown so much as a person over the last 2 1/2 years, so, for me, I'm just really happy to look back on it. It's all a lot of really good moments, and I'm just really grateful.' Sources previously told The Athletic that Shaw requested a trade from the Wave last year. She's expressed interest in playing in North Carolina before, though at the collegiate level. When Shaw was only 14, she committed to playing for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill before ultimately turning professional. Aside from her success at the club level, Shaw has been a rising star on the national team stage. Her versatility makes her a powerful piece in the national team puzzle. The 20-year-old played a full 90 minutes for the U.S. in its 2-1 win against Australia, clinching an assist to Lynn Biyendolo in the first minute of the game. On Wednesday, the U.S. will take on Japan at Snapdragon Stadium in what is sure to be an epic finale of the SheBelieves Cup. The Americans are vying for their sixth consecutive title, while Japan, a far more experienced squad compared to the U.S. side in this tournament, is pushing for its first title. It will be telling who USWNT head coach Emma Hayes chooses to lean on in this showdown as she continues to experiment with the roster and pushes to deepen the player pool.
