The USWNT prepares for two friendlies against Spain at the new U.S. Soccer National Training Center, facing significant defensive injuries and testing new players ahead of the 2027 World Cup.
Lindsey Heaps (née Horan), USWNT captain and soccer icon, returns to her hometown to lead Denver Summit FC as the NWSL expands in Colorado, reflecting a storied career that began with skipping college for pro soccer in Europe and includes World Cup glory and Olympic gold, now balancing club leadership with national-team duties and chasing a World Cup roster spot.
The USWNT opened the SheBelieves Cup with a 2-0 win over Argentina, with Lindsey Heaps scoring in the 19th minute and setting up Jaedyn Shaw for the second in the 56th. Claudia Dickey earned her seventh shutout, and sisters Gisele and Alyssa Thompson returned to the squad.
