U.S. Women’s National Team Takes Center Stage In Quest for Fifth World Cup

With the Women’s World Cup around the corner, the summer soccer schedule looks to be an exciting time for our soccer communities. The United States Women’s National Team comes off their 2019 title, in hopes of their fifth World Cup Championship.

The roster for the team has some veterans we all know and love with Julie Ertz, Alex Morgan, Kelly O’Hara while also adding new and exciting young rookies like Trinity Rodman, Sophia Smith, and Alyssa Thompson ready to win the hearts of Americans everywhere.

I hope we all can take a moment to appreciate how far our U.S. Women’s Soccer programs have come. To winning the fight for equal pay, to viewership of previous Women’s Championship breaking records, or to the National Women’s Soccer League becoming the prominent Women’s Pro league in the word, it is an exciting time to be a female soccer player.

The U.S. Women’s National Soccer team has long been those role models breaking down barriers and inspiring generations of young girls and women. When receiving recognition after their World Cup win in 2019, it was stated that the team made the phrase “playing like a girl” mean being the best in the world at what you do, striving to always be better, and standing up for what you believe in.

The U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team inspires girls to dream bigger, and equally important, they inspire boys to look at girls differently.

I am excited to see how the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup impacts the next generation of soccer players, girls and boys alike.
