ATLANTA (Jan. 2, 2026) – U.S. Under-16 Girls’ National Team head coach Katie Schoeper has named 20 players for a training camp and three matches in Spain with the trip running from January 5-16.

The U.S. U-16s will finish the trip with a match against the Belgium U-17 WNT on Jan. 15 in Oliva, Spain.
All 20 players on the roster were born in 2010, which is the birth cutoff year to be eligible for the 2027 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup, the tournament that this age group of players will be attempting to qualify for at the 2027 Concacaf Women’s U-17 Championship.
