While the U.S. women's national team squad that will compete at the 2023 Women's World Cup includes some household names, it also has a lot of unfamiliar ones. Of the 23 players headed to Australia and New Zealand for the tournament, 14 have never played in a World Cup before. That's more newbies than the USWNT had at the previous two World Cups (which the U.S. won).
This is your primer on who these players are -- both on and off the field. We dug through social media posts, scoured interviews and crunched the numbers on stats to give you a snapshot of all 23 players on the roster.
