US EditionUSWNT Opens 2026 with Dominant Win over Paraguay
- On Jan. 24, 2026, the U.S. women's national team beat Paraguay 6-0 in Carson, California, with Trinity Rodman, named captain, scoring for the U.S.
- Because the friendlies weren't on a FIFA date, Emma Hayes, USWNT head coach, named an all-NWSL roster as European-based U.S. players were unavailable midseason for the two friendlies in California.
- A five-goal second-half surge unfolded after Reilyn Turner scored in first-half stoppage time on an assist from Olivia Moultrie, including Croix Bethune's 53rd-minute goal.
- Rodman agreed on Thursday to a three-year contract with the Washington Spirit, a deal called one of the most significant in NWSL history, while the USWNT starting lineup averaged just 10 caps.
- The United States also plays Chile on Tuesday night in Santa Barbara, while Gotham FC players were left off the roster preparing for the Jan. 28 Champions Cup semifinal against Corinthians in London and the final Feb. 1 at Emirates Stadium.
