For the second time in her outstanding professional career, Rose Lavelle is headed to the World Cup to play for the US National Team.
In her 89 appearances for her country, Lavelle has totaled 24 goals and 20 assists, and will once again be a major contributor at the 2023 World Cup in New Zealand.
The U.S. and Lavelle opened their campaign with a 3-0 victory over Vietnam.
For Lavelle, the journey to represent the Red, White, and Blue is one that has been building since she was a little kid. She fell in love with the game at a young age, it carried through to Wisconsin, and now to soccer’s biggest stage. Fox Soccer highlighted her journey to the World Cup in a recent special:
"I always try to play for my nine-year-old self who fell in love with the game."
