Alyssa Naeher

United States women’s national team icon Alyssa Naeher was named the 2024 U.S. Soccer Female Player of the Year, finishing her international career on top.

Naeher, 36, was instrumental in the USWNT’s success in 2024 providing key stops in the Olympics, SheBelieves Cup and Concacaf W Gold Cup that ultimately led the U.S. to winning all three.

Recognition for her work last year came not only from U.S. Soccer as she was named the Best FIFA Women’s Goalkeeper of the Year and selected in FIFA’s Best Women’s XI lineup.

The United States women’s national team ended 2024 with their unlikeliest win of the calendar year on Tuesday with a 2-1 victory vs. Netherlands despite being dominated most of the game. The game was played in Hague.

In what was Alyssa Naeher’s final game with the Stars and Stripes the 36-year-old goalkeeper had one of her busiest 90 minutes. The Dutch had total control of the first half outshooting the USWNT 14-1 and opening the scoring in the 15th minute.

USWNT vs Netherlands highlights and takeaways

Alyssa Naeher, one of the most accomplished goalkeepers in U.S. women's national team history, has announced her retirement from international soccer, ending a distinguished career that spanned over a decade.

The legendary keeper announced her decision via social media, with the pair of upcoming friendlies against England and the Netherlands being her last ever caps for the USWNT.

The United States women’s national team will play for a gold medal in the Olympics for the first time in 12 years after defeating Germany in the semifinal 1-0 on Tuesday. An unbelievable Alyssa Naeher save vs Germany is to thank.

USWNT fans had their hearts drop to their stomachs in the final minutes of extra time when Germany were awarded a dangerous free kick. In the dying seconds the ball was lofted into the box and headed toward goal.

NEW YORK — The Paris Olympics will give the U.S. women's soccer team a chance to begin a new chapter, goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher said on Wednesday, as the four time gold medallists look to regain their supremacy on the global stage.

The United States slipped to an all-time low fifth on the FIFA rankings last month after their worst Women's World Cup showing in 2023, when they exited in the round of 16.

The Emma Hayes Era commenced with an extraordinary win.

USWNT defeat South Korea in Emma Hayes debut as head coach

The U.S. women’s national team had their first match and win under the management of new head coach Emma Hayes as they defeated South Korea in a jam-packed DSG Stadium in Colorado this Saturday.

The United States women’s national team will go on a month-and-a-half hiatus following a spring that saw them lift the inaugural Concacaf W Gold Cup and their seventh SheBelieves Cup. We’d say we’ve seen enough for a USWNT Olympic roster prediction.

Incoming USWNT head coach Emma Hayes will need to narrow the roster to 18 names for the Paris Olympics. She’ll have watched both tournaments and have a solid idea of who deserves to go.

The U.S. women’s national team were crowned the 2024 SheBelieves Cup champions after defeating Canada in Columbus on Tuesday.

After facing off against Canada in the W Gold Cup semifinals last March and  defeating The Maples through penalties, both national teams were to meet once again in hopes of winning a trophy.

There's no doubt about this one.

The USWNT will be facing off against CONMEBOL’s mighty Brazil in the W Gold Cup final.

After defeating Canada through a penalty shoot-out last Wednesday in the tournament’s semifinal, the U.S. women’s national team will be due to play the first-ever final in the history of the tournament against none other than Brazil.
