Three Utah Royals FC players will play key roles for Team USA as it tries for back-to-back World Cup titles

The United States Women’s National Team roster for the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup is full of internationally known names in the world of soccer. Names like Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe and Carli Lloyd.

But some of those names reside in Salt Lake City and play for the Utah Royals FC. Becky Sauerbrunn, Kelley O’Hara and Christen Press are all regular starters for the Royals, and after this year’s worldwide tournament is over, they will have eight Women’s World Cup experiences among them.

For Sauerbrunn and O’Hara, it will be their third consecutive time competing in the Women’s World Cup.
