SAN DIEGO (Jan. 7, 2024) - U.S. Women's National Team head coach Emma Hayes has named a 26-player roster, including Wave defender Naomi Girma and forward Jaedyn Shaw, for the year-opening training camp being held from January 14-21 at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif.

Although a training camp was not held at the beginning of 2024, the January training camp has been a staple of the USWNT schedule for years. This year's week of January training will not include any international matches but will be held concurrently with a 24-player Futures Camp, featuring up-and-coming USWNT prospects. That roster will be announced tomorrow.

"We want to continue to foster an environment and culture on the National Team that is player-centric and female athlete-centric and helps the players maximize their abilities," said Hayes. "Having positive, growth experiences with the USWNT will help them in their careers and help us build a deeper player pool. I'm really looking forward to getting on the field with these players and the players in the Futures Camp to get in a solid week of training with both groups without having to make adjustments for the impact that a match would have on our loading and training plan. I can't wait."
