U.S. Women’s National Team interim head coach Twila Kilgore has named a 23-player roster including Mia Fishel for the 2024 CONCACAF W Gold Cup taking place from Feb. 17th - March 10th.
Fishel missed the top of the table clash as Shaun Goater’s Manchester City dealt Chelsea their first defeat at Kingsmeadow in 33 matches and moved level on points with the reigning Barclays Women’s Super League champions thanks to a hard-fought 1-0 win.
The USA’s group will be played entirely at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif. The USWNT opens Group A play on Tuesday, February 20th against the winner of the Guyana vs. Dominican Republic Preliminary Round match (which will take place on Feb. 17th), faces Argentina on Friday, February 23rd and then finishes the first round against Mexico on Monday, February 26th.
These will be the first matches of the 2024 Olympic year for the USWNT. The roster features three Southern California products in Mia Fishel (San Diego), Jenna Nighswonger (Huntington Beach) and Trinity Rodman (Laguna Niguel) and two former UCLA stars in Fishel and defender Abby Dahlkemper.
The roster includes 19 players that will arrive from their NWSL preseasons and four that will come in from Europe: Lindsey Horan, Emily Fox, Fishel and Korbin Albert. Horan (Olympique Lyon), Fishel (Chelsea FC) and Albert (Paris Saint-Germain) all play for clubs who have qualified for the quarterfinal round in the UEFA Women’s Champions League. Fox comes into camp fresh off a sterling debut run with Arsenal FC in London.
