This month's training camp will have 26 senior-squad invitees and 24 young prospects in a "futures" group. "This part is just as much fun as it is competing for a major tournament," Hayes says.

Although there won’t be any games because this camp takes place outside of a FIFA international window, it will give many new names the chance to impress.

Ashley Hatch has been called up to the U.S. women’s national soccer team’s January training camp roster. Hatch didn’t suit up for the team at all last year and last played for the national team on Dec. 5, 2023, against China. Over the course of her career, Hatch, a former BYU Cougar, has played in 22 games for the national team, scoring five goals.
