McGlynn and Sentnor both featured on the USWNT's roster during the previous international window. Sentnor entered the first match against China in the 57th minute and earned a start in the second match against Jamaica, coming off in the 67th minute. She recorded her first multi-goal game for the red, white, and blue, scoring in the 19th and 28th minutes. McGlynn did not see action during the last window but is expected to play a larger role this time around.
Tanaka has received a call-up to Nadeshiko Japan for a fourth consecutive international window. The veteran forward started both matches in the previous window against Brazil. Traveling to the host country of the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup, Japan fell 3-1 in the first match and 2-1 in the second. Tanaka played the full 90 minutes in both contests. She has made 91 appearances for the national team, scoring an impressive 43 goals during that span.
Guzmán joins la Selección Colombia Femenina in preparation for the Copa América Femenina. As Colombia continues its tournament preparations, the team will face Mexico in a pair of friendlies leading up to the competition. The first match is set for June 27, 2025, followed by the second on July 2, 2025. The 19-year-old defender, who was part of Colombia's squad at the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, will look to add to her six international caps and solidify her place on the final Copa América roster.
Thomsen has been selected for Denmark's squad ahead of the UEFA Women's EURO 2025. The 25-year-old will participate in the team's pre-camp in Elsinore, Denmark, from June 23 to 27, before traveling to Switzerland for the tournament. Thomsen will remain with the squad through the conclusion of Denmark's campaign, which could run until as late as July 28, 2025, depending on tournament progression.
Justus and Flynn have both been called up to the 24-player U.S. U-23 Women's National Team roster for the June training camp. Flynn is coming off a pair of appearances with the U-23 squad in friendlies against Germany. She came off the bench in the first match, which the U.S. won, and earned a start in the second match, a narrow loss for the Americans.
Solórzano joins the Guatemala National Team for a second consecutive international window. In the previous window, Guatemala faced Puerto Rico in a pair of friendlies, falling 1-0 in the first match and 2-1 in the second. Solórzano will look to bounce back this time around, as Guatemala prepares to take on Ecuador.
Utah will be represented at the U-17 level by Ream, who has been called up to the U.S. U-17 Girl's National Team, which is set to face Japan in Kansas City on June 28th. The teenager will look to continue her development as she progresses through her rookie season in the NWSL.
