U.S. Women’s National Team (USWNT) head coach Vlatko Andonovski has named his 24-player roster for the January’s training camp and friendlies in New Zealand. The trip will include two matches against the Football Ferns.
The USA have played the Football Ferns 19 times but never in New Zealand.
According to U.S. Soccer, the scheduled friendlies will be the USWNT’s first matches played in New Zealand. The Lady Yanks have played 715 games in their tenured history.
Andonovski called in three players with Colorado connections: veterans Lindsey Horan and Mallory Pugh-Swanson, along with rising newcomer Taylor Kornieck.
