Ever since their first Women’s World Cup victory in 1991, the United States Women’s National Team (USWNT) has carried the torch for our nation's international soccer ambitions. Their dominance extends across decades, having earned a podium finish in every tournament since their inaugural triumph, clinching the title on four out of eight occasions.

Presently, we find the squad in a golden era, boasting back-to-back World Cup victories in 2015 and 2019. As they gear up for another competitive season, the team is poised to chase an unprecedented third consecutive championship. If done, it will be first first-ever three-peat in both Men’s and Women’s World Cup competition. Their journey represents a new chapter in their illustrious legacy and solidifies their status as America’s most successful international team.

Due to their dominance and magnetic personalities, the USWNT has garnered substantial public support from Americans.

It's worth noting the significant representation of California within the USWNT. Out of the 23 talented athletes that constitute the squad, eight hail from the expansive landscape of the Golden State. Spanning from the sunny beaches of Newport to the bustling streets of San Jose, California's influence runs deep within the team.

Here are the Californians of the USWNT:

  • Naomi Girma - San Jose
  • Savannah DeMelo - Bellflower 
  • Ashley Sanchez - Pasadena
  • Alex Morgan - San Dimas
  • Megan Rapinoe - Redding
  • Trinity Rodman - Newport Beach
  • Alyssa Thompson - Los Angeles
  • Lynn Williams - Fresno
The USWNT consistently battles it out with other top teams like England, Germany, and Japan.

This illustrious lineup embodies the power of Californian soccer. We see a harmonious blend of experienced leaders and emerging stars. From Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe, who have long served as the steadfast pillars of the team, to the rising prodigies like Naomi Girma and Alyssa Thompson, California's players are the driving forces of today and promising pioneers of tomorrow's soccer landscape.

With back-to-back titles, the USWNT has achieved more than most teams in international soccer history.

Looking back at the USWNT’s history, we see a recurrent pattern of California’s influence, such as Californians Mary Harvey and Carla Overbeck who led the team to their first World Cup title in 1991. This tradition continues today, standing as a testament to California's rich soccer culture and its enduring impact on the world stage. As we cheer on Team USA in the Women's World Cup, we celebrate not just their past victories but also the promise of more golden moments to come.
