As anticipated, three Utah Royals FC players will get their chance to help the United State’s Women’s National Team as it tries to win a second consecutive FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Becky Sauerbrunn, Christen Press and Kelley O’Hara were all named to the USWNT roster on Thursday. For Sauerbrunn and O’Hara, it will be their consecutive World Cup appearance. Press will play in her second consecutive World Cup.
The U.S. won the World Cup in 2015, and is considered one of the favorites to win it again this summer. The tournament starts June 7 and goes through July 7.
