U.S. Women’s National Team head coach Vlatko Andonovski has named Kansas City Current defender Hailie Mace to a 24-player BioSteel Training Camp Roster for two away friendly matches in October as the U.S. faces England on Friday, Oct. 7, at Wembley Stadium in London followed by a match against Spain on Tuesday, Oct. 11, at El Sadar Stadium in Pamplona.
Andonovski will name 23 players to suit up for each of the matches.
This is Mace’s second call to join the USWNT in the past two months. In two September friendlies, she played 20 minutes and 10 minutes as the U.S. defeated Nigeria 4-0 in Kansas City on Sep. 3 and 2-1 in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 6.
“These are big tests for our team in front of crowds cheering against us and after long travel, but our players absolutely love games like these,” Andonovski said. “The group we are bringing to Europe includes players who have a lot of experience against top European teams and some that don’t, so these games are even more critical for our growth as our team. Our whole squad needs to get a clear picture of what these games are like as we continue to prepare for the World Cup.”
The London match will be at 2 p.m. Oct. 7 and will be carried on Fox. The Pamplona match will be at 1:30 p.m. Oct. 11 and will be on ESPN2.
