It's going to be a big summer ahead for a pair of Coloradans on the United States Women's National Team on the sport's biggest stage: the World Cup.

Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe lead Team USA for the 2023 World Cup. There are plenty of new faces, too, with Sophia Smith, Trinity Rodman and more.

As the highly anticipated World Cup approaches, the USWNT's roster has created a mix of surprise and excitement. While the seasoned veterans continue to inspire with their exceptional skill, a wave of promising young talent prepares to make its mark on the international stage.

Eighteen-year-old Alyssa Thompson is among the 23 players selected for the United States team that will defend its title at the Women's World Cup next month. Thompson is among a mix of veteran and newcomers named Wednesday to the team by head coach Vlatko Andonovski. Among the experienced players are Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan, who will each be making a fourth World Cup appearance in Australia and New Zealand. Thompson is joined by fellow up-and-coming stars Sophia Smith and Trinity Rodman, who is the daughter of former NBA star Dennis Rodman.

The roster includes some old favorites as well as a fresh pool of young soccer players eager to win the cup.
