Boamah, Klinger Answer National Team Call

Lizzie Boamah and Eleanor Klinger have been selected for a joint U.S. Under-19 and Under-18 women’s National Team camp

ATLANTA - Stanford’s Lizzie Boamah and Eleanor Klinger have been selected for a joint U.S. Under-19 and Under-18 women’s National Team camp from June 24-July 1 at McCurry Park in Fayetteville, Georgia.

The players from both age groups will be divided into two teams for the camp featuring players from both age groups. The joint camp is part of the Federation's U.S. Way philosophy which emphasizes increased programming for Youth National Teams to create more opportunities for young players to advance through the pathway to the full U.S. Women’s National Team with the goal of representing their country at a world championship.

U-19 WNT head coach Carrie Kveton and U-16 GNT head coach Ciara Crinion will be co-head coaches for the camp. For the U-19s, 22 players were named with 20 born in 2006 and two born in 2007, while the U-18 roster also features 24 players, all born in 2007.

Players born on or after Jan. 1, 2006, are age-eligible for next year’s 2026 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Poland, meaning all 46 players in camp will be training for a spot on the qualifying team for that tournament. The USA qualified for the 2026 FIFA Women’s World Cup after finishing in the top four teams at the 2025 Concacaf Women’s Under-20 Championship in Costa Rica earlier this month. Twelve players from the U-19 and U-18 rosters competed in that competition. 

The U-19 WNT camp roster features 19 college players, with 11 different colleges represented. Penn State and Notre Dame have three players while Florida State, Texas and Stanford have two each. The roster also features two National Women’s Soccer League professionals – Trinity Armstrong of the San Diego Wave and Ainsley McCammon of the Seattle Reign – and one USL Super League professional – Charlotte Burge. Armstrong is in her rookie year in the NWSL, McCammon is in her second, and Burge played in the inaugural season of the USL Super League for the Carolina Ascent.

The U-18 WNT camp roster is a mixture of youth club players, college players, and professionals. Nine different colleges are represented, with Alabama and UNC having two each. Zoe Matthews of the Houston Dash and Katie Scott and Mary Long of the Kansas City Current are the three professional players. Scott and Long both played in the 2025 Concacaf Women’s Under 20 Championship with Scott scoring one goal and Long scoring three goals. There are also two USL Super League players on the U-18 squad in Emma Johnson from Lexington SC and Ashlyn Puerta from Sporting JAX.

Seven players on the U-18 roster were part of the USA’s bronze-winning 2024 U-17 Women’s World Cup Team in defenders Kiara Gilmore, Leena Powell, Scott, and Jocelyn Travers, midfielder Jordyn Hardeman, and forwards Long and Maddie Padelski.

Five players from the USA’s 2023 Pan American Games Team that earned a bronze medal are on the U-19 roster in goalkeeper Kealey Titmuss, midfielder Eleanor Klinger, and forwards Kendall Bodak, Ava McDonald, and Amalia Villareal.
