Utah Royals FC defender Rachel Corsie was named to the Scottish national team roster for the FIFA Women’s World Cup, the club announced Wednesday. Her addition to the team was widely expected.
Corsie will play in Utah’s match against the North Carolina Courage on Sunday before joining the national team. Scotland will play Jamaica on May 28th prior to traveling to France.
It will be the first-ever World Cup bid for Scotland. Corsie, who is the captain of the team, said before the Royals season that there is a new expectation on Scotland now that it will compete on the world stage.
