Angel City goalkeeper Angelina Anderson was called to Senior female national team For the first time on Tuesday and will join his club teammate Alyssa Thompson For a week -long training camp in Carson next week.
Anderson, 23, started the first three games of Angel City last season, conceding six goals and making 17 stops, with his last appearance on March 30.
Anderson's call comes after Alyssa NaeherWho last year became the first goalkeeper of the American year named FIFA, announced it Retirement of the international piece. Anderson, who was the starting goalkeeper of the under -17 World Cup team in 2018, will participate in the veteran Casey Murphy of the courage of Caroline du Nord, in Claudia Dickey of Seattle and Mandy McGlynn of the Royals of Utah to replace Naeher. Of the four, only Murphy, with 20 traffic jams, played more than one match with the USWNT.
“I plan for the future. And as we know with Alyssa Naeher retired, this is an opportunity to really see the entire goalkeeper playing billiards,” said manager Emma Hayes, undefeated in 15 games with the national team. “This is the beginning of the year, it is an opportunity to see Angelina among others.”
“We have great goalkeepers in this country,” added Hayes. “We just have to recognize that there are not many ceilings between many of them.”
The reigning Olympic Champions play their first 2025 match on February 20 in Houston, against Colombia Cup of Shebelieves. The four-team tournament will end at the Snapdragon stadium in San Diego on February 26, the United States against Japan and Australia in Colombia.
Because the training camp takes place outside an international FIFA window, the 26 players called out of the NWSL lists, although the line before Trinity Rodman,, Sophia Smith And Mallory Swanson, who combined for 10 of the 12 American goals at the Paris Olympic Games last summer, was not called. This created opportunities for three attackers with three caps or less – Emma Sears from Louisville, Ella Stevens from Gotham and Morgan Weaver from Portland – to get time with the national team.
With the midfielder's midfielder Lavelle through the Shebelieves Cup after an ankle surgery, only 11 of the 22 members of the Olympic team will be at the camp while six convened women will seek their first appearance with the senior team. Thirteen others have three caps or less and only three players – defenders Crystal Dunn and Emily Sonnett and striker Lynn Williams – are over 30 years old.
Thompson, an attacker, and the Allied fields Allied Sendnor and Jaedyn Shaw, every 20 years, are the youngest camp players. They will be joined on the training field by 24 players of a “long -term camp” for players under 23 years old. This list will be published on Wednesday.
