KANSAS CITY - Kansas City Current midfielder Ally Sentnor has been called up for the United States Under-23 Women's National Team for the upcoming FIFA international window. U.S. Soccer announced its 20-player roster for a pair of overseas friendlies on Wednesday.

Players born in 2002 or later are age-eligible for this year's U-23 Women's National Team. The U-23 matches are another step in U.S. Women's National Team (USWNT) head coach Emma Hayes' emphasis on this age group and its importance along the player pathway.

The U.S. will first travel to Senec, Slovakia, for a unique opportunity for the U-23 squad to play against a senior national team. The Stars and Stripes will face the Slovakia Women's National Team at its national training center on Friday, Nov. 28. The U-23s will then travel to Accrington, England, where they will square off with the England U-23 Women's National Team on Monday, Dec. 1, at Wham Stadium.

No stranger to the USWNT system, Sentnor earned her first senior team cap in front of over 78,000 fans at Wembley Stadium against England on Nov. 30, 2024. Her first USWNT goal came in the opening match of the 2025 SheBelieves Cup against Colombia on Feb. 20 in what was her first start and third cap, becoming the first U.S. player to score her first USWNT goal in the SheBelieves Cup Tournament. Sentnor's first senior team assist was on KC Current forward Michelle Cooper's goal in the second match of the SheBelieves Cup vs. Australia three days later. She then capped off the event by scoring in the final SheBelieves Cup game against Japan on Feb. 26, and her first brace in a U.S. uniform was in a friendly with Jamaica on June 3.

A native of Hanson, Mass., Sentnor was named the 2024 U.S. Soccer Young Female Player of the Year a month prior to her SheBelieves Cup breakthrough.

Sentnor represented the Stars and Stripes at nearly every youth level as one of the most decorated U.S. Youth National Team players in history, including at the Under-20 level before her senior team berth. She captained the U.S. squad which earned bronze at the 2024 FIFA U-20 World Cup where she took home the Bronze Ball as the tournament's third-best player for scoring three goals. Sentnor, who co-captained the team at the 2024 U-20 Concacaf Championship, led the roster with four goals and two assists as the USA finished runner-up to secure the World Cup berth. She was also one of the youngest players on the U.S. roster at the 2022 FIFA U-20 World Cup, and she helped the U-20 team win the 2022 Sud Ladies Cup.
