This year is shaping up to be a huge one for the U.S. women’s national team.
The team has plenty of friendlies on the horizon, the SheBelieves Cup and, of course, the 2023 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
Vlatko Andonovski will lead the USWNT into the tournament, with his side looking to become the first team to ever win three World Cups in a row.
The World Cup will come two years after the team’s last major tournament, the Olympics in Japan, where Andonovski coached the team to a somewhat disappointing bronze medal finish.
The pressure will be on the coach and the team to return to the World Cup final for the fourth straight tournament, and win for the third time running.
Here is a look at how 2023 shapes up for the USWNT.
