The U.S. women’s national team’s April roster will see the return of two key faces. Sophia Wilson and Tierna Davidson are back with the USWNT for April’s trio of home friendlies against Japan, U.S. Soccer announced Wednesday. In addition, Trinity Rodman, Alyssa Thompson, Lily Yohannes, and Sam Coffey were also among the April call-ups on the 26-player roster. Head coach Emma Hayes will name 23 players for each of the matches. “As our team continues to evolve, it will be great to welcome back Sophia and Tierna, who are not only great players but also contribute positively to our team environment,” said Hayes. “Japan is undoubtedly one of the top teams in the world, and they are performing at a very high level coming off their Asian Cup title, which was impressive to watch. Playing the same country three times in a row, and especially a team that is as dedicated to their style as Japan, will be a massive test for our team and I’m looking forward to seeing how our team handles the numerous challenges these games will present.” Wilson, a member of the “Triple Espresso” front line who helped lead the USWNT to the 2024 Olympic gold medal, makes her first USWNT roster in 17 months following her pregnancy and the birth of her daughter in early September 2025. The 25-year-old Wilson has earned 58 caps for the USWNT to date, scoring 24 goalsDavidson, 27, has made a complete recovery from an ACL injury suffered in NWSL play at the beginning of the 2025 season. She returns to the USWNT after a 13-month absence and has earned 67 caps to date. The USWNT will begin its three-game series against Japan in San Jose, Calif. at PayPal Park on April 11. The two sides will then shift to Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington on April 14 before closing their series on April 17 at DICK’S Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colorado. Japan is fresh off a successful run at the 2026 AFC Women’s Asian Cup in Australia, outscoring its opposition 29-1.
