Team news & squads
USWNT team news
Head coach Vlatko Andonovski has a 23-member roster to choose from for the international friendly against Ireland. 21 out of the 23 players were also part of the squad that won the 2023 SheBelieves Cup.
During the first half of the team's fixture against the same opponents on April 8, forward Mallory Swanson had to be taken off due to a torn patella tendon in her left knee.
As a result, 18-year-old forward Alyssa Thompson has been selected as her replacement.
Ireland boss Vera Pauw has conceded that the starting lineup will undergo changes as her team takes on USWNT for the second time in three days.
The head coach has said: "We will make some changes with both Aoife Mannion and Sinead Farrelly not starting this game due to injury prevention as we need to protect them because of their limited gametime at club level."
Ireland has a mix of youth and experience in their squad. Aine O’Gorman, Louise Quinn, and O’Sullivan are the veterans with a wealth of experience, while there are also three uncapped players in the squad in goalkeeper Sophie Whitehouse, forward Alannah McEvoy and defender Tara O'Hanlon.
United States and Ireland have faced each other in friendly fixtures over the years, and the USWNT have been victorious in all the last five head-to-head clashes.
