This will be the first World Cup for Mewis. The 32-year-old midfielder was capped by the USWNT in 2013 and 2014, but then wasn’t selected again until 2020. Mewis now has 51 caps, and made five appearances for the national team this year alone.

This will be the fourth World Cup for O’Harra. The 34-year-old defender has 157 caps for the USWNT, and was in the Starting XI of the team that defeated the Netherlands 2-0 in the 2019 World Cup Final. She was also on the 2011 and 2015 World Cup squads.

This will also be a World Cup debut for Williams, who is Gotham’s leading scorer with six goals. The 30-year-old Williams has 52 caps, and scored one goal in five appearances with the USWNT this year. Earlier this week, Williams signed a contract extension that will keep her at Gotham through 2025.
