US boss Hayes announces 26-player lineup for upcoming friendlies against Iceland and Argentina

The roster, announced on Thursday, includes Uncapped Hal Hershfelt, Emily Sams, Eva Gaetino, Alyssa Malonson, Yazmeen Ryan, and Emma Sears.

The match against Iceland on Oct. 24 in Austin will mark the United States' first outing since winning gold at the Paris 2024 Olympics. They will face Iceland three days later in Nashville before travelling to Louisville to host Argentina on Oct. 30.

"There's no doubt that the summer was brilliant, and we want to make these three games about celebrating some amazing accomplishments and players, but at the same time, we can't rest on any laurels," Hayes said in a statement.

"Our focus is forward, our focus is on our process, and we want to keep chasing new heights. I love that we get to see most of our Olympic team again after a few months, but I also love getting to work with some newer players and evaluate how they perform in our environment."
