With the FIFA Women’s World Cup starting Friday, all of the teams in the National Women’s Soccer League will have players in France vying to bring a title to their home countries. Utah Royals FC have a total of six players in the tournament — from four different nations.
The remaining players on Utah’s roster will have to hold down the fort while the internationals are gone. But that doesn’t mean that some players, and even coach Laura Harvey, will be left out of the World Cup experience.
Starting on Friday, Harvey, Amy Rodriguez and Vero Boquete will serve as soccer analysts during World Cup games broadcast on Fox 13 throughout the tournament, Fox 13 general manager Tim Ermish told The Salt Lake Tribune last week.
