U.S. women's national team head coach Emma Hayes has a reputation for always thinking ahead, and her first post-Olympics roster announced on Thursday shows why.
Rather than clinging onto the group that won Olympic gold in August, with her first call-ups since, Hayes is taking a clear first step toward building depth and identifying new players for the buildup to the 2027 World Cup.
Eight new players join the 18 available players who return from the Olympics, including six who are uncapped. Three of them are earning their first call-ups to a senior USWNT camp.
