Twenty-six invited elite US women soccer players arrived in metropolitan Denver this past Sunday in advance of the US Women’s National Team fall 2020 camp. It is the first time in seven months that the competitive and eager-to-impress group will be together, kicking off preparation for the rescheduled 2020 Summer Olympics—now set for July 23–August 8, 2021 in Tokyo, Japan.
The invites include three Colaradons: Real Colorado products Sophia Smith and Jaelin Howell, and Colorado Rush and 2019 World Cup medal winner, Lindsey Horan. USWNT star Mallory Pugh should have been including in the call-up; however, she is nursing a hip injury that developed during her NWSL play this summer.
