U.S. Soccer Federation (USSF) announced today that Head Coach Jill Ellis had named 29 players to the United States women’s national team’s January training camp roster. The camp will be held from January 12-23 and will be held at the U.S. Soccer Training Center in Carson, Calif.
The USWNT has been in the news most recently because of the failure by USSF and the USWNT Players Association to agree on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement, or CBA. The CBA the team had been operating under expired on December 31, and many fans were concerned the lack of a new agreement would result in a player strike and/or the January training camp to be cancelled.
