STANFORD, Calif. - Olympic gold medalists Sophia Wilson and Tierna Davidson will return to the U.S. Women's National Team roster, two of five former Cardinal selected by head coach Emma Hayes for a 26-player training camp ahead of a trio of April matches against 2026 AFC Women’s Asian Cup champions Japan.
Wilson, a member of the “Triple Espresso” front line who helped lead the USA to the 2024 Olympic gold medal, makes her first USWNT roster in 17 months following her pregnancy and the birth of her daughter in early September of 2025. The 25-year-old Wilson has 58 caps for the USWNT along with 24 goals, three of which were scored at the 2024 Olympics, to go with her two assists in that tournament.
Davidson, 27, has made a complete recovery from an ACL injury suffered in NWSL play at the beginning of the 2025 season. She returns to the USWNT after a 13-month absence. Coincidentally, Davidson’s most recent international match was against Japan on Feb. 26, 2025, in the SheBelieves Cup finale. Davidson has 67 caps and three goals.
The duo are joined by goalkeeper Jane Campbell and defenders Naomi Girma and Kennedy Wesley as former Cardinal in camp.
The USWNT will begin its three-game series against Japan in San Jose, Calif. at PayPal Park, home of Bay FC and the San Jose Earthquakes, on April 11 (2:30 p.m. PT / 5:30 p.m. TNT, truTV and HBOMax in English and Universo and Peacock in Spanish). This match is being presented by The Home Depot.
The USA will then play Japan for a second time on Tuesday, April 14, at Lumen Field in Seattle, Wash., home of Seattle Reign FC and Seattle Sounders FC (7 p.m. PT on TNT, truTV and HBOMax in English, Universo and Peacock in Spanish). This match is being presented by Allstate.
The last match of the series will be played on Friday, April 17, at DICK’S Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colo. (7 p.m. MT on TNT, truTV and HBOMax in English, Universo and Peacock in Spanish), home of the Colorado Rapids and the venue at which the Denver Summit will play a few matches this season.
Stanford will also send three players to a U-20 training camp in Kansas City, Mo. running from April 7-16 that will include two matches against fellow 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup qualifier Brazil. The three players - Caroline Birkel, Lizzie Boamah and Y-Lan Nguyen - are the most of any collegiate program in the nation.
The USA will face the Brazil U-20 WNT on April 11 at CPKC Stadium (6:30 p.m. CT), the first purpose-built stadium for women’s soccer, and on April 15 at Riverside Stadium (2 p.m. CT), located at the Kansas City Current’s state-of-the-art training facility. The matches are part of the Kansas City Current’s inaugural Teal Rising Week, which runs from April 8-15. Designed to celebrate global women’s soccer, Teal Rising Week features a collection of professional, international and youth talent with elite matches, tournaments, skills challenges, education sessions and more.
The camp and matches are a part of continued preparations for the 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup, which will be held in Poland from Sept. 5-27. The USA and Brazil are among the 16 nations to have qualified for the tournament. The tournament will feature 24 countries, with the Asia and Africa Confederations yet to qualify their representatives.
In addition to those competing with the U.S., Stanford also features Eleanor Klinger on the U-23 squad for England - selected by newly-appointed head coach Lydia Bedford as part of her first compiled roster.
England will travel to Spain for the finals, where they will compete against Europe’s top sides for the title.
Bedford’s team face the Netherlands on Monday 13 April (3pm BST) in the semi-final, with a place in the final at stake. Depending on the outcome of that match, England will meet either Sweden or Norway on Friday 17 April (12pm BST) in the final or third-place play-off. Supporters can watch both fixtures live via the England YouTube channel.
