U.S. Women's Deaf National Team
Since beginning play in 2005, the U.S. Women’s Deaf National Team holds a 37-0-1 all-time record, claiming three DIFA World Deaf Football Championships (2012, 2016, 2023) and four Deaflympics (2005, 2009, 2013, 2022). The Deaf WNT officially joined U.S. Soccer's Extended National Team program in 2022.
The Deaf WNT includes eligible qualifying players who must have a hearing loss of at least 55DB in their “better ear.” If you or someone you know qualifies for the Women’s Deaf National Team and plays at a high level, you can contact us via email at ExtendedNT@ussoccer.org for more information on potential playing opportunities.
