In the roster release for the 2017 Tournament of Nations, there was an interesting note: Sofia Huerta, formerly of the Mexico women’s national team, would be training with the USWNT while US Soccer sought a change of federation from FIFA. Huerta already had four caps with the Mexico senior team in games that didn’t count for cap-tying purposes, but in subsequent interviews made it clear that her ambition was always to play for the United States. Huerta was born in Boise, Idaho to immigrant parents and spent time in the United States youth setup until she was cut from the 2012 U20 World Cup roster.
