U.S . S o c c e r ’s Ce nt e n n ia l Ce le bration in 2013
C h r o n i c l e s Fe de rat io n’s R ich Histor y and Bright Future
For the past century, soccer in the United States has progressed to new heights with each passing decade.
There have been a number of defining moments along the way that have demonstrated the impressive growth
of the sport in the United States.
Among the early portion of the history books was Archie Stark, whose goal scoring exploits of the 1920s hold
acclaim to this day.
Joe Gaetjens and the U.S. Men shocked the world with a 1-0 victory against heavily favored England at the
1950 FIFA World Cup in Brazil – a win that in some circles was assumed a misprint.
In 1989, Paul Caligiuri’s goal from 35 yards out against Trinidad & Tobago clinched the USA’s first appearance
in the World Cup since 1950.
PRO GRAM S
The U.S. hosted its first FIFA World Cup in 1994 across nine different cities. The 3.5 million that attended
the 52 matches is unprecedented in World Cup history and catapulted the game to a new level in the USA.
The U.S. Women’s National Team, which was born in the mid-1980s, has showcased its world dominance
over nearly three decades with FIFA Women’s World Cup crowns in 1991 and 1999, the latter drawing more
than 90,000 fans for the championship victory against China PR on July 10. The U.S. WNT has also won an
unparalleled four gold medals in Olympic competition, most recently the 2012 London Olympics.
These events barely scratch the surface of U.S. Soccer’s history as the Federation moves into its Centennial in
2013. Together with its membership, U.S. Soccer is embarking on a yearlong celebration to honor its history,
paying tribute to the progress made and demonstrate a future with unlimited potential.
U.S . HIS TORY & INFO
C OM P ET I TI ONS
The yearlong celebration includes the creation of a commemorative book featuring articles, interviews and
photos from U.S. Soccer’s archives, historic content on ussoccer.com with rare photos, unique videos and
engaging interviews, and several unique grassroots activities in conjunction with its membership to help honor
the milestone.
Among some of the content on ussoccer.com includes the regular “100 Moments” feature – a handpicked
selection of historic feats and events over the past century consisting of articles, audio and video segments.
The “Hidden Caps” feature chronicles players who earned only a few appearances during their career, providing
the back story of these unknown but interesting stories. Former National Team players will also catch up with
U.S. Soccer to chat about their post-playing days in “Where Are They Now.”
Fans can look forward to specific Centennial events in 2013, including a celebration of the Federation’s 100th
anniversary on April 5, 2013, and a weekend during the summer that features a U.S. Men’s National Team
match, U.S. Soccer’s Annual General Meeting and a number of activities for supporters.
“There is an incredibly rich and varied history of soccer in the United States in the last 100 years, and the
Centennial offers a wonderful opportunity to honor the achievements of so many, and to look forward as we
continue to grow the game,” U.S. Soccer President Sunil Gulati said. “The passion, commitment and vision
of our membership has been the bedrock of all that has been accomplished here, and we are excited about
bringing into focus the stories and people that have contributed so much to our success.”
U.S. SOCCER FEDERATION – HISTORY
Throughout the 100-year history of U.S. Soccer, the organization has been known by three different names:
U.S. Foot Ball Association – 1913-1944
U.S. Soccer Football Association – 1945-1973
U.S. Soccer Federation – 1974-Current

NEW YEAR, NEW COACH, NEW GOALS
U. S. WNT
After an emotional, exciting, historic and highly successful 2012, the U.S. Women’s National Team will now
refocus and reshape under new head coach Tom Sermanni. With Women’s World Cup qualifying likely not
commencing until the end of 2014, and with the new National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) set to begin
play in the spring, one of Sermanni’s main goals will be expanding the player pool. Early in his tenure he has
shown the willingness to give young players a chance to perform, and he will continue to invest in veterans
who he believes can have an impact as the world’s top-ranked women’s soccer team looks toward qualification
for the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Canada.
The majority of the team that won the 2012 Olympic gold medal in London, England, in front of 80,203 fans
at Wembley Stadium will make a run at the next Women’s World Cup roster, but there should also be plenty
of new faces. With many months, games and training camps to evaluate, as well as the next generation of
professional players fortunate to get a chance to improve in NWSL’s day-to-day club environment, Sermanni
will have plenty of time to identify the core of the team he hopes to bring to Canada.
WN T H I S TO RY
Although the schedule of international matches after the traditional two-year World Cup/Olympic cycle has
generally been scaled back, Sermanni will still have plenty of high-level matches in which to evaluate players
as well as the luxury to bring some young players along slowly. He will also be able to watch a complete
schedule of NWSL matches to identify any in-form new and/or younger players and continue to watch the
progress of his regulars on the club level.
The U.S. team will play a handful of domestic friendlies in 2013, two in February and then several spread out
over the summer and fall. Of course, the USA will play in the annual Algarve Cup in Portugal and has several
high-level away exhibitions scheduled, in Germany, the Netherlands and Canada.
The USA has won the last three Olympic gold medals and four overall, after taking home silver in 2000 and
winning the inaugural gold medal for women’s soccer in 1996, but the World Cup Trophy has eluded the team
since 1999. After third-place finishes in 2003 and 2007, and a second in 2011, players and staff will be fully
committed to doing whatever it takes to reach the top of the podium in 2015.
PRO GRAM S
The U.S. Women began and ended 2012 in the top spot in the FIFA Women’s World Rankings. Through the
end of 2012 the team had lost just nine matches in regulation time since the end of the 2003 FIFA Women’s
World Cup – just six under former head coach Pia Sundhage – and will look to keep building the tradition that
has made the USA one of the most successful women’s soccer nations in history.
SERMANNI LOOKS TO CREATE COMPETITION FOR ROSTER SPOTS
Sermanni comes to the USA after coaching Australia in two Women’s World Cup tournaments (2007 and
2011). He knows what it takes to compete on the world’s stage, and he likes what he sees in the USA’s current
player pool. The challenge of finding the perfect mix of young talent and vastly experienced veterans is one
that many coaches face, but with so many talented options, it will surely be an exciting one to undertake.
In goal, the USA has depth that most countries would envy. Long-time starter Hope Solo will use a good portion
of 2013 to recover from wrist surgery but should be fit and healthy in plenty of time to lay a claim to the No. 1
spot. Veteran Nicole Barnhart, who is approaching 50 caps, has always performed extremely well when called
upon, and the duo has been the USA’s first-choice ‘keepers since 2008. Pushing Solo and Barnhart will be Jill
Loyden, who will be recovering for a second time from a broken bone in her hand, as well as Ashlyn Harris, the
USA’s starter at the 2002 and 2004 FIFA U-19 Women’s World Cup who now has several valuable seasons of
professional soccer on her resume. Young goalkeepers Jane Campbell, who was the USA’s starter at the 2012
FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup, and U.S. U-23 ‘keeper Adrianna Franch, who will be playing her first pro
season in the NWSL, will also be pushing for training camp call-ups.
U. S. HISTO RY & IN FO
U.S. captain Christie Rampone, the most capped active player in the world and still a defensive force, put off
retirement for another potential run to the Women’s World Cup and adds tremendous experience and stability
to the U.S. back line. She is joined by several players with extensive experience and the versatility to play
various positions across the back four. The USA has four other players who have shown they can play in the
center or at outside back. Rachel Buehler has consistently been Rampone’s partner in the middle but has
also shown an ability to play both outside back positions. Becky Sauerbrunn played some crucial minutes at
center-back as a substitute for Buehler in the semifinal and final at the 2012 Olympics and has shown to be
an extremely reliable option on defense. After several years of trying to break into the program, Whitney Engen
has shown signs of being a solid option at center back as well. Julie Johnston, the 2012 U.S. Soccer Young

The USA will of be relying extensively on the pool of talent that took them to and through the Olympic Games
in the United Kingdom, but there will be an infusion of young players over the next few years.

Female Athlete of the Year and the captain of the U.S. team that won the 2012 FIFA U-20 Women’s World
Cup, is just starting to break into the U.S. team as one of the youngest players in the pool.
The USA is increasing its depth at outside back as well. While Amy LePeilbet, who started all six games in the
Women’s World Cup at left back and five games at the 2012 Olympics, will have to recover from ACL surgery
to regain her spot on the U.S. back line, Ali Krieger is fully recovered from her own ACL surgery and shows
signs of locking down the right back spot in which she performed so well at the 2011 Women’s World Cup.
Kelley O’Hara, a forward or flank midfielder during her entire college, youth national team and full national
team career, switched full-time to outside back in 2012, played every minute of the Olympics and has turned
into a highly productive player at left back. Meghan Klingenberg, a starter on the USA’s U-20 world champions
in 2008, has shown promise during the very beginning of her full international career, playing well at both right
back and right midfield, and after recovering from shoulder surgery is ready to make a run at a regular spot.

W N T H I S TO RY
Crystal Dunn, a member of the USA’s 2012 U-20 Women’s World Cup champions and the 2012 MAC Hermann
Trophy winner, played both center back and outside back at the youth level, but it seems her future with the
senior side lies on the flank.
The USA boasts an excellent combination of center midfielders in veterans Carli Lloyd and Shannon Boxx,
who have complemented each other well since the 2008 Olympics and who played key roles in winning the
2012 Olympic gold medal game. Lloyd famously scored both goals in the 2-1 victory against Japan while Boxx
recovered from injury early in the tournament to play the entire game. The duo will look to keep that chemistry
going, but the U.S. has other options in the center as well. Both Lauren Cheney and Tobin Heath have shown
the ability to play attacking midfielder, although Heath is a more natural flank player and Cheney played on
the outside during the Women’s World Cup in Germany. Cheney is a long-time striker who has proven her worth
at that position on the international level, but she has also shown some tremendous qualities in the midfield
with her ability to hold the ball high, allowing her team to get up the field while collapsing the defense and
opening up the flanks as she is a talented final passer. Heath is perhaps the most technically gifted player
on the U.S. team, and her composure and ability to break down defenses on the dribble give the USA some
tempting options in the center of the park.
Yael Averbuch, who possesses one of the best shots and most accurate long balls on the team, has been a part
of the national teams program for quite a while, but bolstered by a stretch playing in Europe, she has shown
the potential to make an impact at defensive midfield on the international level as well.
The USA is remarkably stocked at flank midfield, going four-deep at the position, something rarely seen on
the U.S. team in past years. Veteran Heather O’Reilly has been a consistent positive presence at right midfield
over the years and holds the U.S. record for consecutive games played. The crafty Megan Rapinoe, who was a
breakout star at the 2011 Women’s World Cup and continued her great run at the Olympics, has shown she can
play on the right or the left. Of course, the remarkably skillful Heath, a deceptive dribbler, is always an option
at either flank midfield position, and her increased strength and experience have earned her increased playing
time over the past few years. Kristie Mewis, a true left-footed player and the 2008 U.S. Soccer Young Female
Athlete of the Year, has shown signs of being an impact player and exhibits tremendous promise for the future.
The USA is spoiled with a bevy of talented goal scorers led by the 2012 FIFA Women’s World Player of the
Year Abby Wambach. Fast approaching Mia Hamm’s all-time international scoring record, Wambach will once
again be relied on for goals and emotional leadership. Of course, the emergence of Alex Morgan – perhaps the
fastest and most powerful runner at goal in the world – has given the USA a whole new dimension. Her timely
and dynamic goal scoring has made her a tremendous fan favorite in the USA and around the world.
While Cheney is an option up top as well, young Sydney Leroux – the USA’s all-time leading scorer in FIFA
U-20 Women’s World Cup competition – burst onto the full international stage in 2012, setting a U.S. record
for goals as a substitute and scoring a memorable goal in the Olympics. Christen Press, who brings a different
skill set to the front line, has also shown tenaciousness, speed and goal-scoring ability.
Two long-time veterans will be coming back from pregnancy in 2013; if forward Amy Rodriguez and defender
Stephanie Cox can regain their fitness and form during their club seasons, their presence would add even
more depth to the U.S. team.
It is clear the USA has the foundation and talent to make a run at the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup title, but
as is the case every year, the competition is constantly improving, and the target is always on the Americans’
back. Fortunately, those are challenges that the U.S. players relish as they look to continue their current
upward trend in popularity while enhancing the profile of the women’s game at home and abroad.

TOM S E RM ANNI
Sermanni comes to U.S. Soccer after eight years as head coach of the Australia Women’s National Team, which
he coached in both the 2007 and 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup tournaments, reaching the quarterfinal stage
at both events. That eight-year period was Sermanni’s second stint as head coach of Australia, as he also
coached the Matildas from 1994 through 1997, during which time he led the team to the 1995 FIFA Women’s
World Cup in Sweden.
WN T H I S TO RY
Tom Sermanni was named head coach of the U.S. Women’s National Team on Oct. 30, 2012, becoming the
seventh head coach in the team’s history. He officially started in the position on Jan. 1, 2013.

Sermanni, who was the 2007 Asian Football Confederation Coach of the Year, led Australia to a runner-up
finish at the 2006 AFC Women’s Cup, where the team fell to China in penalty kicks, and to the championship
of that tournament in 2010, when the youthful Matildas downed Korea DPR in penalties. During his time in
charge of Australia, Sermanni helped bring the team into the top 10 in the FIFA Women’s World Rankings.
Sermanni’s coaching career in both men’s and women’s professional soccer has taken him all over the world,
including stints in Japan, the USA and Malaysia. Sermanni began his coaching career in men’s soccer in the
late 1980s, when he was transitioned from player-coach to head coach of the Canberra Croatia/Metros in the
New South Wales State League from 1988-1991. He also coached the Australia Schoolboys side from 19891991 and coached the men’s program at the Australian Institute of Sport from 1991-1993. He coached
Sydney Olympic FC in the Australian top flight – the National Soccer League – in 1993-1994 before taking
his first women’s job with the Australian National Team in 1994.
After the WUSA ceased operations, Sermanni had a short stint in Malaysia with club side Sarawak before
taking over the Australian women for the second time in 2005 when Australia moved from the Oceania
Confederation to the Asian Confederation, allowing the Matildas to compete regularly against rising Asian
powers who are now some of the best women’s national teams in the world.
Sermanni, who has lived in Australia since 1983, is married to Alison.
U. S. HISTO RY & IN FO
Sermanni, a native of Glasgow, Scotland, had a long playing career as a midfielder from 1971 through 1989,
when he retired after playing two years with Canberra Croatia and became a player-coach and then head
coach. Prior to that, he played from 1984-1987 with Canberra City and in 1983 with Marconi. From 1971
through 1983, he played in England and Scotland, representing Dunfermline Athletic in 1983, Torquay
United (England) from 1979-1982 and Blackpool (England) from 1978-1979. He turned professional in
1973 and played six seasons for Albion Rovers from 1973-1978 in Scotland after playing amateur soccer for
Cumbernauld United from 1971-1973. Overall, Sermanni played more than 300 professional matches and
scored more than 50 goals.
C O M PE TI TI O NS
After stepping away from the Matildas in 1997, Sermanni transitioned back to men’s soccer, traveling to Japan
to coach J-League side Sanfrecce Hiroshima from 1997-1999. He then had a stint with the Canberra Cosmos
in the NSL from 1999-2001 before moving to the USA to coach in the WUSA.
PRO GRAM S
Sermanni coached all three seasons of the Women’s United Soccer Association (WUSA), serving as an
assistant for the San Jose CyberRays during the inaugural season, in which he helped the club to the league
championship. He was also an assistant for the CyberRays in 2002 before taking the head coaching job of the
New York Power in 2003, where he coached U.S. Women’s National Team legends Christie Rampone, Shannon
Boxx and Tiffeny Milbrett.

U S A in T H E F I FA W omen ’ s W orld C up
With two championships in six FIFA Women’s World
Cup competitions, one second place finish and three
third-place finishes, the U.S. Women’s National Team
is widely hailed as the most successful women’s soccer
team in the world. In its six Women’s World Cup
competitions, the U.S. is 27-4-5 in 36 total games and
is the only nation to finish in the top three in each
Women’s World Cup (as well as all four Olympics).
The USA hit some bumps in the road on the way to the
2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup, falling in the semifinal
of the CONCACAF Women’s World Cup Qualifying
Tournament at the end of 2010 before defeating Italy in
a two-game playoff to earn the final berth to Germany.
The Americans also lost two games during its World
Cup preparation, but still headed into the tournament
as one of the favorites. What transpired in Germany
will forever be remembered as a breakthrough event for
women’s soccer as the U.S. team’s dramatic run to the
World Cup Final inspired a nation.
The USA opened the tournament with a hard-fought
2-0 win against Korea DPR in Dresden on second-half
goals from Lauren Cheney and improbably, defender
Rachel Buehler. That set the stage for a 3-0 demolition
of Colombia that featured the entire team saluting the
crowd after the opening goal by Heather O’Reilly in
recognition of the large group of U.S. military and their
families that helped sell-out the stadium in Sinsheim.
The USA fell 2-1 to Sweden in its final group match in
Wolfsburg, which sent them into a quarterfinal against
Brazil back in Dresden. The drama and controversyfilled game featured the latest goal in Women’s World
Cup history on the now-legendary Abby Wambach
header and then the U.S. prevailed in the penalty kick
shootout to send the team to the semifinal.
In the semifinal in Mönchengladbach, the USA ran into
an extremely talented France team that dominated the
match in stretches, but as the Americans often do at
the highest levels, they found a way to win on a firsthalf goal from Cheney, another Abby Wambach header
and a late clincher from Alex Morgan. The USA was
by far the stronger team in the World Cup Final in
Frankfurt, but let two leads slip away and fell in the
penalty kick shootout to Japan.
Abby Wambach scored in the final four games – the
first U.S. player to do that in a World Cup tournament
– and took over the U.S. career lead in Women’s World
Cup goals from Michelle Akers with her 13th in the
championship game. Wambach and Morgan became
the first U.S. players to score in the semifinal and final
of a World Cup.
In 2007, the USA was riding a long unbeaten streak
and held the world’s top ranking heading into the FIFA
Women’s World Cup in China where they won perhaps
the most difficult first-round group in the history of
the tournament. In Group B, the USA drew with Korea
DPR 2-2 in the opening match, then got two goals
from Abby Wambach in a must-win 2-0 victory over
Sweden. With advancement to the quarterfinals still up
in the air, the USA won the group with a hard-fought
1-0 victory over a vastly improved Nigerian team. The
American women then met up-and-coming England in
the quarterfinal, and after an evenly played first 20
minutes, put together their best performance of the
tournament, winning 3-0 and earning a place in the
semifinals against Brazil. The semifinal marked a low
point in U.S. history as the team suffered some heartwrenching misfortune while scoring an own goal and
seeing Shannon Boxx harshly sent off at the end of the
first half. The combination of factors led to a 4-0 loss,
the worst in U.S. history, and a place in the third-place
match. The USA rebounded wonderfully to win the
bronze medal, rolling over Norway by a 4-1 score to end
the tournament on a high note.
Considered the top team in the world heading into
FIFA Women’s World Cup USA 2003, the defending
champion U.S. was assured the title of tournament
favorite after the competition was moved from China
to the U.S. due to the outbreak of SARS. After rolling
through group play with a 3-0 record and 11-1
advantage in goal differential, the U.S. squeezed past
rival Norway by a 1-0 margin in the quarterfinals. Then
in Portland, Ore. – the only city in history to host a
World Cup match in consecutive competitions – the
U.S. was shocked by Germany, who scored two injury
time goals in a 3-0 victory en route to winning it all and
being crowned world champion. The U.S. was relegated
to the third place game. There the red, white and blue
made quick work of northern neighbor Canada 3-1,
the same team that forced the U.S. to sudden death
overtime in the CONCACAF Women’s Gold Cup final
less than one year earlier.
The United States Women’s National Team added to
its prestige by becoming the first squad to host and
win a Women’s World Cup, when it downed China
PR 5-4 in penalty kicks after battling to a 0-0 draw
through regulation and overtime in the 1999 final.
The match was played in front of a women’s athletics
record crowd of 90,185 on June 10, 1999 at the Rose
Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. The winning penalty kick
goal for the U.S. has become a pop culture moment in
American history, with Brandi Chastain connecting on
the shot and then celebrating the goal with a nation.
The championship marked the USA’s third major
championship of the decade, going along nicely with
the 1991 Women’s World Cup crown and the 1996
Olympic victory.
The biggest disappointment for the U.S. Women in
the 1990s came at the 1995 Women’s World Cup in
Sweden, when the team fell to arch-rival Norway in the
tournament semifinals, 1-0. The defeat was the firstever for the USA in WWC play and helped Norway into
the final where they downed Germany to take the crown.
In 1991, the U.S. won the inaugural FIFA Women’s
World Cup in China. The championship was the first
for the USA in a FIFA competition and established
the dominance that the U.S. women have continued
to display at the international level. The United States
were led by Michelle Akers, Carin Jennings and April
Heinrichs, dubbed “the triple-edged sword.” The trio
combined to score 20 of the team’s 25 goals in China,
including all five (Jennings 3, Heinrichs 2) in a 5-2
semifinal victory over Germany and both goals (Akers)
in a 2-0 win over Norway to win the title.

WOMEN’S WORLD CUP NOTES: Team captain and forward Kristine Lilly was the
lone U.S. player named to the FIFA Women’s World Cup All-Star Team.
With a draw and two wins in first-round play, the USA won what was widely
considered one of the most difficult opening round groups in Women’s World
Cup history.
By defeating Norway 4-1 in the third-place match, the USA finished in the top
three in all five Women’s World Cup tournaments that have been contested,
the only country to do so.

The final Women’s World Cup of the century launched the beginning a new era of
success for women’s soccer. For the first time, the tournament was expanded to 16
teams and was staged in huge stadiums across the host country, raising expectations for attendance, media coverage and television audiences; expectations which
were reached, surpassed and then crushed.
The U.S. captured its second Women’s World Cup Championship while thrilling a
nation and becoming the story of the year. The team played in front of packed houses across the country, beginning with a crowd of 78,000-plus at Giants Stadium
cheering the team to a 3-0 tournament opening victory over Denmark. The victory
set a tone for the entire tournament. After fighting their way into the final with five
victories, which included a come-from-behind 3-2 victory over Germany in the quarterfinals and a nail-biting 2-0 victory over Brazil in the semifinals, the U.S. battled
China PR for a grueling 120 minutes before pulling out a breathtaking 5-4 penalty
kick victory in the finals in front of a sell-out crowd of 90,125 fans at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena on July 10.
After a scoreless 90 minutes of regulation, China PR appeared to get the winner in the first 15-minutes of
sudden-death overtime, but midfielder Kristine Lilly jumped high to head a shot clear of the goal. That save
would lead to goalkeeper Briana Scurry and defender Brandi Chastain becoming heroes during the penalty
kick tiebreaker. Scurry leaped off her line to save China PR’s third shot, allowing Chastain to slam home the
game-winning penalty kick goal. With the championship, the U.S. became the first nation to win the Women’s
World Cup on its home soil.

Originally scheduled for China from Sept. 23 to Oct. 11, the FIFA Women’s
World Cup 2003 was moved out of the country by FIFA on May 3 because
of the threat of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. In awarding the games
to the United States on May 26, FIFA chose the United States over Sweden, the only other country besides the
USA to make a formal bid to host the tournament.
While women’s soccer has no doubt become more and more competitive, the group stage of USA 2003 went
almost exactly according to script. Seven of the eight quarter-finalists from four years ago again advanced.
Only Nigeria, who were the only side not to score a goal in the finals, did not make it through, stepping aside
The U.S.-German match was widely hailed as one of the greatest in women’s soccer history, surpassed in 2003
only by Germany’s thrilling 2-1 sudden death victory over Sweden. That triumph saw Nia Kuenzer head home in
the eighth minute of extra time to send The Home Depot Center into a frenzy of German joy and Swedish tears.
The U.S. closed out an ultimately disappointing tournament with an emphatic 3-1 victory over border-rival
Canada in the third-place game. The match was never in doubt, with the U.S. seeing goals from Kristine Lilly,
Shannon Boxx and Tiffeny Milbrett keep their perfect top three record in Women’s World Cup play intact.

At the start of 2011, U.S. Soccer appointed April Heinrichs as the Technical Director and Jill Ellis as the
Development Director for the U.S. Women’s National Teams, marking the first time U.S. Soccer has appointed
full-time positions to oversee the women’s youth national team program and the programs’ overall development.
W N T H I S TO RY
In the first quarter of 2013, U.S. Soccer added three more full-time hires, bringing on Michelle French as the
U.S. Under-20 Women’s National Team head coach and B.J. Snow as the U.S. Under-17 Women’s National
Team head coach. This marked the first time the head coaches of these age groups were full-time hires.
In addition, U.S. Soccer hired April Kater as the Women’s Head Development coach. Kater is working closely
with Ellis and will be responsible for developing and maintaining a national database, tracking elite youth
players to serve all of U.S. Soccer’s girls’ Youth National Teams. She will also coach and assist in U.S. Soccer’s
National Training Center initiatives, serve as the head coach for the U.S. U-14 Girls’ National Team program
and also work with the U.S. U-15 Women’s National Team. Kater will also be heavily involved in educating and
developing coaches across the nation to work with younger age groups.
These hires along with other recent initiatives including U.S. Soccer Training Centers and the Technical
Advisors will both improve the effectiveness of existing programming for the U.S. women’s youth national
teams and improve the process of identifying the top young female players in the United States.
Heinrichs provides technical direction for women’s soccer in the United States as it relates to the U.S.
Women’s National Teams with a focus on the Under-20s and younger, while overseeing the U.S. Under-20 and
U.S. U-18 Women’s National Teams.
PRO GRAM S
Ellis takes the lead on interacting directly with key coaches within the youth club environment while also
guiding and directing the U.S. U-17s, U-15s and U-14s.
The full-time coaches will all work together to integrate all of the youth women’s and girls’ national teams,
helping players and systems connect from one team to the next. They will also play major roles in leading the
discussion on connecting the philosophies of the WNT head coach through all the youth national teams and
especially to the massive amount of girls’ youth clubs in the United States. Ellis especially will focus on the
grassroots within the youth club environment to convey the goals and philosophies of player development in
order to help produce quality players for the national team level.

The purpose of the program is to identify elite players with national team potential from any club within
reasonable distance to key soccer markets. Players can be recommended for the program by U.S. Soccer
technical advisors, national team scouts, state associations, local clubs or college coaches. Players can be
recommended at any time by contacting [email protected]. The final roster for the Training Centers is
selected by U.S. Soccer staff.

U. S. HISTO RY & IN FO
The U.S. team has been active at this age group since 1989 (in its previous incarnation it was run as a U-20
program until 1998 and then morphed into a U-21 program until 2007) and has been consistently effective in
helping prepare players for the step up to the Women’s National Team. The vast majority of current Women’s
National Team pool players have competed for the U-21s or U-23s. The U-21s used to feature “overage”
players in training camps and for the Nordic Cup tournament, but now all players who are age-eligible for the
U-23s in 2012 must have been born on or after Jan. 1, 1990. This team serves a valuable role in helping
bridge the large gap between college soccer and the national team, and now has a valuable partner in that
area in NWSL.
C O M PE TI TI O NS
The role of the U-23s in the overall development of U.S. WNT players underwent some changes in 2009 with
the start of Women’s Professional Soccer (WPS) and will again be positively impacted with the start of the
National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) in the spring of 2013. Many of the players who were being kept
active and in the mix for the full team by competing with the U-23s will now be playing in the new league.
Therefore, U.S. head coach Randy Waldrum will call up some professionals when they are released by their
clubs, and will especially focus on pros in the early part of the year before the beginning of NWSL pre-season
camps. During the NWSL season, more college players will like get call-ups for the remainder of the spring
and into the summer, as that time period falls during the heart of the club season. For the December training
camp, he will once again be able to call in NWSL players, as well as top college players who will be going into
the NWSL the following year.
PRO GRAM S
The USA’s oldest women’s youth national team moved to Under-23 in 2008. The change was in response
to FIFA moving its oldest youth world championship for women from Under-19s to Under-20s, as well as a
change in the Nordic Cup – long the main event for this age group – which became a U-23 event. The Nordic
Cup, long a staple of summer programming for this age group, took a hiatus in 2009 after being staged for the
19 years. Without the competition, which had been organized annually by one of the Nordic countries, the U.S.
U-23s have pursued other international competition, mostly in Spain and Scandinavia.

Randy Waldrum took over as the head coach of the U.S. Under-23 Women’s National Team in January of 2012,
replacing Bill Irwin, who had guided the team for the previous five years.
WN T H I S TO RY
Waldrum, who is currently the head women’s soccer coach at the University of Notre Dame, is one of the most
successful college coaches in history. In 14 seasons at Notre Dame, Waldrum has guided the Fighting Irish
to a 279-50-16 overall record while making it to eight NCAA College Cups and five national championship
matches. He advanced to the NCAA College Cup in 2000, 2007 and 2009, had runner-up finishes in 1999,
2006 and 2008, and won NCAA titles in 2004 and 2010. His teams have won 11 Big East regular season
titles and seven Big East tournament titles.
Waldrum has coached for 31 seasons in college soccer including stints as the women’s and men’s coach at
Tulsa and the women’s coach at Baylor, a program he started from scratch in 1995.
Waldrum came to Notre Dame after three seasons at Baylor, where he guided the Bears to a 46-14-3 record
after he spent 1995-96 starting up the program. Prior to his tenure at Baylor, Waldrum spent six seasons
(1989-94) as head coach of the men’s and women’s teams at the University of Tulsa, compiling a 66-33-6
record with the men and a 61-36-9 mark with the women (he remains the winningest all-time coach of both
programs).
PRO GRAM S
Waldrum’s career winning percentage is third all-time among women’s soccer coaches with 10-plus seasons
on the Division I level and second among active coaches. He has coached players who have received 27 AllAmerica honors, including numerous players who have appeared for the USA’s Youth National Teams, in the
professional ranks and several who have earned full national team caps.
Waldrum started a first-year men’s program at Texas Wesleyan in 1988 and earlier had his first collegiate head
coaching position at Austin College in 1982. He served as director of coaching for the Texas Longhorns Soccer
Club from 1987-89. Waldrum’s first coaching job was at MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas.
Waldrum served as an assistant coach with the U.S. Under-18 and U-20 National Teams in the late 1990s.
Waldrum and his wife, Dianna, have one son, Ben, who played professionally with the A-League’s El Paso
Patriots and the MISL’s Dallas Sidekicks and also served as an assistant on his father’s staff at Notre Dame
from 2003-07. Waldrum was formerly president of the 28,000-member National Soccer Coaches Association
of America (NSCAA).
C O M PE TI TI O NS
As a player, Waldrum earned all-district honors all four years of his playing career at Midwestern State
University in Wichita Falls, Texas, graduating in 1981 as a physical education major and political science
minor. He then played professionally for the Los Angeles Skyhawks and the Indianapolis Daredevils of the
American Soccer League.

Note: Team began competing as U-23s in 2008
In the past 16 years, the U.S. Under-23 Women’s National Team (previously competing as U-21s) has amassed
a 166-38-34 record. Without a FIFA competition for this age group, for years the U-23s set their sights on
northern Europe every summer for Nordic Cup, which had established itself as the premier international
competition for European U-23 women’s teams with the USA being invited every year. Due to the current
economic climate, the Nordic Cup has not been staged for past five years, but U.S. U-23s have still traveled
to Europe in search of top competition every year.
U. S. HISTO RY & IN FO
The U.S. had astounding success in the Nordic Cup, which serves as a history of the program and the many
great players that represented the USA at this level. The Americans advanced to the championship game of the
Nordic Cup 12 years in a row from 1997-2008 while winning 10 titles. The USA won an amazing seven Nordic
Cups in a row from 1999-2005. That streak ended in 2006 with a 2-0 loss to Germany in the tournament
finals, but featured an inspiring 4-0 group victory against Norway in Norway in a game the U.S. had to win by
four goals to advance to the final. The team rebounded in 2007 to dominate a six-team tournament played for
the first time as a U-23 event, defeating Germany in the championship game by a 4-0 score, and then won
the 2008 Nordic Cup with a 3-0 win against Germany in the final while not allowing a goal for the second
consecutive tournament.

The verdict is in: the FIFA Under-20 Women’s World Cup is an invaluable development opportunity and
legitimate proving ground for future stars. The USA’s participation in the first six events – of which the
Americans have won three – gave an early glimpse of young talent, many of whom have gone on to make major
impacts at the full international level. The first two tournaments were held as Under-19 events before FIFA
moved it to a U-20 competition in 2006.
In 2011, U.S. Soccer Women’s Technical Director April Heinrichs and head coach Steve Swanson began to
oversee the program with focus of qualifying for the 2012 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup, which was to be
held in Uzbekistan. The tournament was later moved to Japan, and the USA made a magical run through the
competition, losing to Germany in the final match of group play before rebounding to beat three group winners
in the knockout stages, downing Korea DPR 2-1 in the quarterfinal, Nigeria 2-0 in the semifinal and then
flipping the result on the Germans, winning 1-0 in the World Cup Final in Tokyo on a goal from Kealia Ohai.
Under new head coach Michelle French, a former U.S. Women’s National Team player and 2000 Olympian, the
USA now sets its sights on qualifying for the 2014 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Canada, site of the first
tournament for this age group back in 2002. That tournament was won by the USA in dramatic fashion on a
“golden goal” from Lindsay Tarpley in sudden death overtime to defeat the hosts 1-0.
Players eligible for the next U-20 WWC must be born on or after Jan. 1, 1994.
French and her staff will have the benefit of an excellent preparation schedule that features numerous
domestic training camps and some highly competitive matches abroad, as well as several players who are still
age-eligible from the last cycle of U-20s plus some very strong talent coming up through the ranks from the
U.S. U-17 and U-18 Women’s National Teams.

IN THE BEGINNING:
The Histor y of the U-20 WNT
2011 was a transition year for the U-20s as Swanson took over the program and played only a handful
of international matches, going 6-2-1 overall and 2-1-1 against other countries. Still, the year was highly
productive as Swanson refined his player pool and started to develop a team that would go on to win the World
Cup. He saw several veterans of the U-20 level continue to mature while numerous young players showed their
ability to play and prosper at the international level. The schedule included two matches with the Japanese
U-20 squad, which the USA split with the visitors during a camp in Chula Vista, Calif.
PRO GRAM S
In 2010, Jill Ellis led the team to a 16-3-5 overall record and 13-2-3 in international play, winning the title
at the CONCACAF Women’s World Cup Qualifying Tournament in Guatemala. The U.S. team went undefeated
against international competition until its final two friendlies before the U-20 Women’s World Cup, then fell to
Germany and Japan on a pre-World Cup trip to Germany. At the Women’s World Cup, the USA was surprised by
Ghana in the opener, a 1-1 tie, before rebounding to defeat Switzerland 5-0 and South Korea 1-0 to win the
group and earn a berth in the quarterfinal. The USA played a hard-fought match against Nigeria with regulation
time ending at 1-1. A scoreless overtime led to a shootout, where the U.S. goalkeeper Bianca Henninger twice
saved penalties that were ordered retaken, and the USA fell in the shootout for the earliest elimination in
history for a U.S. team at a Women’s World Cup. With five goals in the 2010 tournament and 10 in her U-20
career, Sydney Leroux became the USA’s all-time leading scorer in U-20 Women’s World Cup tournaments.
WN T H I S TO RY
2012 was one of the best years ever for the U.S. program as the team went 16-2-1 in international matches
(17-2-2 overall) and won perhaps the most competitive U-20 Women’s World Cup in history. The USA rolled
through CONCACAF World Cup qualifying to earn a berth to Japan by winning all five games by a combined score
of 18-1 and pulled off a dramatic late-game comeback to defeat Canada by a 2-1 score in the championship
game on a game-winner from Chioma Ubogagu. U.S. head coach Steve Swanson fashioned a team that had
speed and skill all over the field, which when combined with tremendous heart, gave the Americans a unique
squad that overcome adversity to reach the top of the podium in Tokyo, Japan. The U.S. team featured several
players who could have bright full National Team futures, and the victory further cemented the USA’s youth
programs among the best in the world. U.S. captain Julie Johnston, who would be named the U.S. Soccer
Young Female Athlete of the Year for 2012, won the Bronze Ball as the third-best player in the tournament,
a rare honor for a defender.
U. S. WNT
Originally created in 1998 as an Under-18 program, the team moved up an age level to the U-19 level in 2001
in preparation for the first FIFA-sanctioned world championship for youth women, before becoming a U-20
program in 2005 for the first FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in 2006.
In 2009, Ellis led the team to a 9-2-3 overall record and 4-1-2 in international play as she narrowed down
the player pool in preparation for CONCACAF qualifying in early 2010. The schedule included wins against
the Norway, England and Canada U-20s teams as well as draws with the always-talented France and Germany.
Kelly Cobb, Maya Hayes and 2008 U-20 Women’s World Cup star Sydney Leroux led the USA in scoring with
six goals apiece in all matches.
In 2008, despite taking over as head coach from Ellis fairly late in the cycle, Tony DiCicco molded a team that
would win the USA’s seventh women’s world title. DiCicco’s side experienced some growing pains during the
year, but it all came together in brilliant fashion during the Women’s World Cup as the USA scored 12 goals
and allowed just three, controlling every match (aside from a meaningless 2-0 loss to China in group play), on
the way to a convincing 2-1 defeat of Korea DPR in the title game. The USA won three matches by 3-0 scores,
including the quarterfinal against England, and then outplayed a talented German side to win the semifinal
by a 1-0 score. Leroux became just the second U.S. player to win the Golden Ball at a FIFA event and also
won the Golden Shoe as the tournament’s top scorer with five goals. Alex Morgan also had a great tournament,
scoring four times and winning the Silver Ball and the Bronze Shoe. Goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher was world
class, allowing just one goal, that in the waning moments of the final match, a performance that earned her
the Golden Glove as the tournament’s top ‘keeper. The U-20s finished 2008 with an overall record of 20-7-0
while going 14-4-0 in international games.

In 2007, Ellis took the team through some excellent preparation during the identification stage for this pool
of players, eventually winning the silver medal at the Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, an achievement
that included defeating the full Women’s National Team of Canada in the semifinal, 2-1. In the gold medal
game, the USA ran into a Brazilian buzzsaw in front of a packed house at the famed Maracana Stadium, but
that experience will no doubt benefit the players as they moved forward in their national team careers. The
U-20s finished 10-5-1 on the year, but four of those losses were to full Women’s National Teams.
U. S. HISTO RY & IN FO
In 2006, the U.S. U-20s played an amazing 50 matches before the 2006 FIFA U-20 Women’s World
Championship in Russia, eventually compiling an overall record of 39-10-7 for the year. The USA’s 16-2-3
international record was stellar, although the year ended on a down note with the fourth place finish at the

world championship. The USA got some big-time goal production from several forwards during the year,
including Jessica Rostedt (24 goals, 7 in international play), Lauren Cheney (21/9), Kelley O’Hara (20/10)
and U.S. Soccer Young Female Athlete of the Year Danesha Adams (18/7). The USA qualified for the world
championship with an undefeated run at the CONCACAF U-20 Women’s Final Qualifying Tournament held
in Mexico in January of 2006, downing the hosts 3-0 for a berth to Russia and beating Canada 3-2 in the
championship game.
In 2005, the team had a quiet year of activity due to the transition of head coaches.
In 2004, under head coach Mark Krikorian, the USA went 17-7-2 and 11-5-2 in international matches,
but lost its first ever match to a team in its age group, falling to Japan, 1-0. The USA finished second in
CONCACAF qualifying, falling 2-1 to Canada in the championship, but they had already secured a berth to
Thailand by virtue of a clinical 6-0 win against Mexico in the semifinal. The USA put together four excellent
matches to open the U-19 Women’s World Cup, starting with a rousing 3-0 win against Korea Republic
followed by a 4-1 domination of Russia. The USA finished group play with a hard fought 1-0 win against
Spain. In the quarterfinal match against a plucky Australia, Angie Woznuk came off the bench to help set up
the USA’s two goals, both of which were assisted by Stephanie Lopez, sending the USA to the semifinal. In
the semifinal, the young Americans ran into a German wall. Tied at 1-1 at halftime, the USA took control of
the match’s pace only to see the Germans score on a lightning counter attack. With the USA pressing forward,
Germany scored another to secure the final 3-1 margin. The USA earned third-place honors with a 3-0 win
against Brazil.
In 2003, the U-19s went 7-4-1 overall and 6-2-0 in international competition, getting wins against Mexico,
Japan, Germany and Holland during the year.

In 2002, the U-19s went 22-2-2 overall and 17-1-0 in international matches, including six wins at the FIFA
U-19 Women’s World Cup in Canada. The victory in the title game of the first-ever U-19 WWC was another in
a long line of “firsts” for the U.S. Women’s National Team program, which includes the first Women’s World
Cup championship and the first Olympic gold medal. Team captain Lindsay Tarpley scored a 109th minute
“golden goal” against host Canada to win 1-0 on Sept. 1, 2002, in front of 47,784 fans at Edmonton’s
Commonwealth Stadium.
In 2001, the USA went 10-4-4 overall and 4-0-1 in international matches as the nucleus of the 2002 world
championship team started to form.
Under Steve Swanson in 2000, the U-18s went 10-2-3, including 3-0-2 in international competition, all
against senior women’s national teams.

The first season of U-18 competition in 1999 was a banner year, as the team went 14-0-3 overall and 8-0-2
internationally, winning a gold medal in the Pan American games to clinch an unprecedented “treble” for the
U.S. Women’s National Team, which also won gold at the 1999 Women’s World Cup and U-21 Nordic Cup.
Shannon Cirovski, a veteran of the USA’s 1991 Women’s World Cup championship team, was the first coach of
the U-18s but stepped down to take the head coach position at the University of Maryland. She coached the
U-18s halfway through 1999 before U.S. Women’s National Team assistant coach Jay Hoffman took the reins
and guided the team to gold at the Pan Am Games in Winnipeg.
In its 13 years of competition as a U-18, U-19 and now a U-20 team, the program has lost only 22 international
matches and just 11 to teams in its age group, compiling a 105-22-16 all-time international record.

World C hampionship Review
U. S. WNT
The U.S. Under-19/U-20 Women’s National Team has participated in all six FIFA World Cups for this age group,
winning the title in 2002 in Canada, finishing third in 2004 in Thailand, taking fourth in 2006 in Russia, reclaiming
the crown in 2008 in Chile, suffering its worst finish ever in 2010 with a quarterfinal loss in Germany and then
rebounding to win its third title in 2012 in Japan. In 2006, the competition moved to the Under-20 level, bringing it
in line with the men’s FIFA U-20 World Cup.
TOP OF THE PODIUM IN TOKYO (2012)
The 2012 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Japan was a triumph of American spirit as well as Japanese character.
The hosts organized a fantastic tournament on short notice after it was moved from Uzbekistan and then captured the
attention of the nation with some tremendously attractive soccer played with unabashed joy. The Japanese fell to the
powerful Germans in the semifinal (after giving up three goals inside of 20 minutes) while the USA defeated a talented
Nigeria team to make the World Cup Final and then triumphed 1-0 on a goal from speedy attacker Kealia Ohai.
Those results gave the Americans a remarkably tough road to the championship as they would have to defeat three group
winners along the way. First up was a Korea DPR side that featured 10 players from their 2012 London Olympic Team.
Seven North Koreans who played against the full U.S. Women’s National Team at the Olympics during the USA’s 1-0 group
play victory at Old Trafford in Manchester, England, played against the U.S. U-20s in the quarterfinal, and the Koreans
came into the game with a tournament-high 15 goals. The USA got a wonder-strike from distance from Vanessa DiBernardo
and an overtime header from Chioma Ubogagu to earn the hard-fought 2-1 win and a berth to the semifinal against Nigeria,
the country that had knocked the USA out of the U-20 World Cup two years earlier in the quarterfinal stage.
WN T H I S TO RY
What made the USA’s march to the tournament title even more special was the adversity the team faced in group play.
After a convincing 4-0 opening game victory against Ghana, featuring a hat trick from Maya Hayes, the USA tied China
PR 1-1 in group play and then got smashed by Germany, 3-0.
The Americans played a tremendous match against Nigeria in the 2-0 victory, getting a header goal from Morgan Brian
and a strike off a beautiful run from Ohai. That victory earned the USA another shot at Germany, which made the
championship game without allowing a goal in its previous five games of the tournament.
The USA played stout defense in the second half, led by center backs Cari Roccaro and Julie Johnston – who would
win the Bronze Ball as the third best player in the tournament – and got several clutch saves from goalkeeper Bryane
Heaberlin to earn the historic victory.

The USA ruined Germany’s perfect record just before halftime as Crystal Dunn’s dynamic run with the ball down the
right flank in the 44th minute set up Ohai for what would be the game winner.
THE PAIN OF PENALTIES IN GERMANY (2010)
The USA started the tournament with a tie against a tough Ghana side, although the Americans had plenty of chances to
win the game, firing 25 total shots with only Sydney Leroux finding the back of the net with 20 minutes left. The young
Americans rebounded to defeat Switzerland, 5-0, in its second match as Leroux notched a hat trick, the first for an
American woman in a Women’s World Cup since 1991 and just the third-ever for a U.S. player.
The USA then faced the Korea Republic with the group title on the line and edged the talented Koreans, 1-0, as Leroux
once again found the net. That set up a quarterfinal match with Nigeria, a physical side which somehow racked up
26 fouls (with four yellow cards) to the USA’s five. The Americans scored early through Amber Brooks, but gave up a
bomb from distance just 11 minutes from the end of the game. The USA once again had plenty of chances to win the
game, including a few in overtime, but Nigeria managed to fire a remarkable 31 shots with U.S. goalkeeper Bianca
Henninger making 14 saves.
U. S. HISTO RY & IN FO
If the 2010 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup proved anything – besides Germany’s dominance at home – is that the
African teams are getting stronger. The USA drew 1-1 with both African sides it faced, and was knocked out of the
tournament at the quarterfinal stage.

The match went to penalty kicks and U.S. U-20 veterans Christine Nairn and Leroux missed the USA’s first and fourth
kicks, respectively, while Nigeria made all four, but not without controversy. Henninger twice saved the shot of Nigeria’s
third kicker, only to have both wiped away and ordered retaken by the referee. Nigeria finally tallied on its third chance.
Leroux’s five goals, which won her the Bronze Shoe as the third leading scorer in the tournament, combined with the
five she scored in 2008 in Chile, gave her the most for a U.S. player in U-20 Women’s World Cup history. Henninger,
who gave up just two goals in the tournament, won the Golden Glove as the best goalkeeper in the competition.

GLORY REGAINED IN CHILE (2008)
PRO GRAM S
The 2008 U.S. Under-20 Women’s World Cup Team put together one of the most complete performances ever for a U.S.
team at a world championship event, scoring 12 goals while allowing just three on the way to a glorious 2-1 title game
victory over defending U-20 world champions Korea DPR. The fans in Chile adopted the U.S. team during the tournament
as the players had once-in-a-lifetime experiences during the first-ever FIFA Women’s World Cup in South America.
Forwards Sydney Leroux and Alex Morgan had fantastic tournaments, accounting for nine of the USA’s 12 goals. The USA
took home an unprecedented amount of hardware as Leroux won the Golden Ball as the best player in the tournament and
the Golden Shoe as the top scorer with five goals. Morgan, who scored four times, won the Silver Ball and the Bronze Shoe
while goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher, who allowed just one goal over the five brilliant matches in which she played, took home
the Golden Glove. The USA also won the FIFA Fair Play Award.
The U.S. started off with two convincing 3-0 wins over France and Argentina. With the top spot in the group locked up after
just two matches, DiCicco played numerous reserves in the third group game against China PR, a 2-0 loss.
The Americans rolled to a 3-0 win against England in the quarterfinal as captain Keelin Winters scored on a fantastic
header to get things started. The Americans then out-battled the Germans, getting an own goal on a cross from Nikki
Washington as well as a hustling slide from Leroux.

The win set up a championship game meeting with Korea DPR. Leroux scored a fantastic goal from distance in the 23rd minute
and Morgan added another brilliant long range strike just before halftime that goes down as one of the greatest ever goals for a
U.S. player in a world championship final. The dangerous Koreans attacked with fervor, but the U.S. defense stayed strong, led
by center backs Nikki Marshall and Lauren Fowlkes. The Asian champions did pull a goal back in the second minute of second
half stoppage time, but the Americans would lift the trophy in front of an appreciative crowd in Santiago.

UNFOR TUNATE FOUR TH IN RUSSIA (2006)
The USA’s 2006 U-20 team disappointed in its results at the world championship in Russia, taking fourth and becoming
the only U.S. women’s team ever to finish out of the top three at a FIFA world championship. The U.S. team had played
50 matches against national teams, colleges and women’s clubs in 2006 leading into the world championship and had
never failed to score at least one goal, but somehow could not muster one in the semifinal or third place match, which
both went to penalty kicks. The U.S. team had kicks to win both games only to miss, and then miss the next as well.
In group play, the USA struggled a bit early as U.S. head coach Tim Schulz utilized his entire roster. The U.S. U-20s

opened the tournament with a 2-1 win over minnow DR Congo. The young Americans then defeated Argentina 4-1 in
a match that could easily have seen more U.S. goals, but put together a quality performance in the final first round
match to defeat France 1-0 on a goal from Jessica Rostedt.

In the quarterfinal round, the USA looked to be the favorite after trouncing defending champion Germany 4-1 as

TAKING THIRD IN THAILAND (2004)
The 2004 U.S. U-19 Women’s National Team was going to be hard-pressed to live up to the standards set by the
2002 squad, which won the first-ever world youth championship for women while rolling over the competition in
Canada, but amazingly, they almost did. Featuring four players from the 2002 squad, the 2004 team in Thailand
put on one of the finest displays of soccer ever seen by a U.S. team in a world championship to win a difficult Group
C that featured Asian champion Korea Republic, European champion Spain and Russia.
The USA opened the tournament with a 3-0 victory over Korea Republic, scored in just the second minute in a 4-1
victory over Russia and finished group play with a highly professional 1-0 win over Spain as Jessica Rostedt provided
the lone goal. The USA dominated Australia 2-0 in the quarterfinals as Angie Woznuk came off the bench to help
create both goals, but ran into a wall in the always tough and talented Germans in the semifinal and fell 3-1 to end
their dreams of a second world youth title. The young U.S. team rebounded remarkably well in the Third Place match,
taking out Brazil 3-0, despite the South Americans featuring the virtuoso attacking duo of Marta and Cristiane from
their silver-medal winning team at the 2004 Olympics.
It was a breakout tournament for Woznuk, the USA’s dynamic attacking midfielder, who won the Silver Ball as the
second Most Valuable Player and the Bronze Boot as the third leading scorer in the competition despite battling a foot
injury throughout. A new wave of talented American strikers also emerged as 17-year-old Amy Rodriguez scored two
goals while 18-year-old Rostedt and 19-year-old Megan Rapinoe scored three goals each.
Like she did for the 2002 U-19 squad, goalkeeper Ashlyn Harris played every minute and was once again stellar,
sealing her status as one of the top young goalkeepers in the world. Harris earned All-Tournament recognition along
with Woznuk and center-back Becky Sauerbrunn, who teamed with Rachel Buehler to form a bruising partnership in
the middle of the U.S. back line. Left back Stephanie Lopez also showed signs of future U.S. stardom while the USA
was awarded the FIFA Fair Play Award, getting just two yellow cards in the tournament.

In the first FIFA tournament for U-19s, under the most adverse conditions and on the biggest of stages, the U.S.
Under-19 Women’s National Team achieved one of the most historic victories in U.S. Soccer history, defeating host

This unique group of teenagers represented the first young women in U.S. history with the opportunity to play in a
sanctioned FIFA world championship. They embraced that challenge, played the semifinal and championship game
in front of massive crowds and a world-wide TV audience, and came out champions, showing with unbridled emotion
that all young girls in the United States can now look forward to the chance to be a world champion as a youth player.
On the field, the young U.S. players had to maintain their composure in the championship game, played in front of
a massive Canadian crowd, awash with red-and-white flags. Substitute Megan Kakadelas created the winning goal
by curving a cross on the ground into the penalty area late in overtime. The ball was kept alive by a darting Heather
O’Reilly, who crashed into a defender on a hard near post run. The ball squirted across the goalmouth to U.S. captain
Lindsay Tarpley who pounded a shot into the net from close range to end the game.
PRO GRAM S
With the win, the U-19s added another first to the glorious history of the U.S. Women’s National Team program,
which claimed the first Women’s World Cup and the first Olympic gold medal for women’s soccer. The USA rolled
through Group play, defeating England 5-1, Australia 4-0 and Chinese Taipei 6-0, before blasting Denmark 6-0 in the
quarterfinal match. The USA fell behind 1-0 to Germany in the semifinal, before storming back to win 4-1 on two goals
from Wilson, one from Tarpley and one from defender Jill Oakes.
Tarpley was awarded with the Bronze Boot as the third leading scorer in the tournament with six goals while Kelly
Wilson earned the Silver Boot as the tournament’s second leading scorer with nine goals in just five games. Wilson also
picked up the Bronze Ball as the third most valuable player in the tournament.
The victory was the end of a glorious two-year run to the tournament in which the first crop of U-19s went 21-1-1 in
international competition and formed a family bond that carried them past an excellent and tough Canadian team, and
their massive fan support, to the first-ever world championship for youth women.

“The journey not only made us better players, but it showed us that great things can be accomplished through hard
work, love and belief,” said Tarpley, who two years later would score for the USA in the Olympic gold medal match.
“Over the last two years, we’ve had some amazing times on the soccer field, but it’s the friendships we’ll carry forever.
I know we will look back at this 20 years from now with the same feelings for each other that we have now. We’ll
remember the day we became world champions together.”

side (which sends its U-23 team to the Olympics) and with the inception of the U-17 FIFA Women’s World Cup,
now competes every two years for FIFA U-17 and U-20 Women’s World Cup titles.
Current Director of Coaching Education Dave Chesler coached the U-18s in 2009 and 2010, but in 2011,
U.S. Soccer Women’s Technical Director April Heinrichs took over the program in 2012, when the squad
had three training camps and compiled a record of 2-1-1, which included two matches against top Chinese
women’s club Shanghai FC.
C O M PE TI TI O NS
The U-18 WNT provides a transition for a number of those players that could possibly make up the core of
the team that would attempt to qualify for the following U-20 Women’s World Cup, or even contribute to the
current cycle of U-20s. The U-18s also provide a proving ground for players in the U-20 pool who may be just
below the core group training for the U-20 Women’s World Cup, giving them an environment to show that they
are worthy of being pulled back into the top tier of U-20s.
PRO GRAM S
In 2008, the U.S. Under-18 Women’s National Team was reinstituted (after having existed from 1998-2001)
to give international competition to players who have just finished a cycle with the U.S. U-17s, but are a year
away from the next U-20 cycle.
In 2011, the squad went 3-1-1 that included a victory over the German U-18s and a loss to the Japanese
U-20s. In 2010, the squad went 4-2-2 and in 2009, Chesler led the team to a 4-0-3 record, which included
a 5-1 victory against the Canadian U-20 WNT.
Dean Duerst, who coached the U.S. U-17s in 2007, led the 2008 U-18s to a highly successful year, defeating
three college teams and winning six games against European U-19s sides in Europe.
The U.S. U-18s had a nice run of success during the late 1990s, winning the 1999 Pan-American Games in
Canada and going 14-0-3 during the year. Shannon Cirovski, a veteran of the USA’s 1991 FIFA Women’s World
Cup championship team, was the first coach of the U-18s in 1998 before then U.S. Women’s National Team
assistant coach Jay Hoffman grabbed the reins and guided the team to Pan-Am gold.
U. S. HISTO RY & IN FO
This year’s group of players, primarily born in 1996, will have several domestic training camps. Several of the
U-18s may be called into U-20 events as that group of players begins more intense preparations for the 2014
FIFA Under-20 Women’s World Cup.

U.S. U nder -17 Women’s National T eam
The U.S. Under-17 Women’s National Team will play its 11th full season of competition this year as U.S.
Soccer Women’s Director of Development Jill Ellis and B.J. Snow, who is the first person to fill the newly
created full-time position as head coach of the U.S. U-17 WNT, oversee the program with the goal of qualifying
for the 2014 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Costa Rica. Players eligible for the upcoming Women’s World
Cup must be born on or after Jan. 1, 1997.
As this is the first year of the new cycle, the players are technically Under-16s and in the second year – the
World Cup year – the players will be U-16s and U-17s, with perhaps some of the top U-15s thrown into the mix
as well. The busy schedule is designed to prepare these 15, 16 and 17-year olds for the biggest competition
of their young careers.
Starting in 2008, the age group got its own world championship, an exciting prospect for the young Americans
who will get the chance to compete for their country in a CONCACAF qualifying competition and then hopefully
the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup.
The U-17s had a successful year in 2012, going 19-1-4 overall and 13-0-4 in international matches, but
learned how cruel the game can be, especially in a World Cup, when the squad became the first U.S. women’s
team to fail to advance out of group play in a World Cup tournament. Despite not losing a match, the USA’s
U. S. HISTO RY & IN FO
U.S. Soccer first added the U-17 Women’s National Team to its programming at the end of 2002. The
U-17 program was initiated as U.S. Soccer felt it was vitally important to get more talented players training
with national team coaches and with the best players in their age group. The philosophy for the U-17s is to
accelerate the development of the USA’s best young players and better prepare them for the game’s highest
levels through training with top players and international matches.
C O M PE TI TI O NS
Snow and his staff will run the squad through a vigorous preparation schedule that will include a mixture of
domestic camps and foreign trips this year which includes a tournament in Costa Rica as the staff and coaches
get the chance to get acclimated to the conditions they hope to face during the next U-17 Women’s World Cup.

6-0 win against Gambia and draws with eventual finalists France (0-0) and Korea DPR (1-1) made the USA the
first team ever to exit a FIFA women’s tournament after the group stage while earning five points.
Still, 2012 saw the USA register wins over the U-17 teams from Germany and China, the U-19 teams from
France and the Netherlands and a win over the full Slovenian Women’s National Team. The USA also drew
0-0 with China’s U-20s. The USA rolled through CONCACAF qualifying while earning five shutouts, outscoring their opponents 26-0 including a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Canada to win the regional title in
Guatemala. Summer Green led the USA in scoring with 16 goals, including 12 at qualifying, the most ever for
an American player during a CONCACAF qualifying event.
In 2011, Albertin Montoya took over the program and started building but also refining the player pool as he
developed a team that played an attractive ball-possession attacking style. The young U.S. team went 1-1-2
in international matches, facing Germany and Japan twice each.

The U.S. U-17s had an odd year in 2010 as head coach Kazbek Tambi put together an incredibly talented
group that outscored its opponents 38-0 at CONCACAF Qualifying in Costa Rica, but fell in the all-important
semifinal in penalty kicks to Canada to end its World Cup dreams.
The U-17s had a tremendous build-up schedule in place which included games against the Germany, Brazil
and Japan U-17s, but one missed penalty kick rendered the preparation moot. The team nevertheless went
16-2-3 during 2010 including a 13-2-3 record in international play with its only losses coming to Japan three
months after the disappointment at qualifying.
In 2009, the U-17s put together an overall record of 7-2-2 including 4-2-1 in international games and ended
the year with an impressive four-game sweep of the U-17 and/or U-20 sides from Chile, Argentina and Uruguay
in Buenos Aires. The U.S. played three close matches with a German team one year older to start the year, but
tied once and lost twice at the event in Florida.
After coaching the U.S. U-16s in 2007, Tambi moved with the age group to U-17s in 2008 to prepare for
qualifying for the historic 2008 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup, the first of its kind for this age group. In 2008,
the U-17s compiled a record of 19-3-2 and 11-2-1 in international matches while winning the CONCACAF
qualifying tournament in Trinidad & Tobago and came within minutes of winning the inaugural FIFA U-17
Women’s World Cup, eventually falling 2-1 in overtime to Korea DPR.
In 2007, as this age group began its run to the 2008 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup, the team went 9-1-0,
defeating two college teams as well youth sides from Germany (U-17), Denmark (U-19), England (U-19),
Argentina (U-20) and Uruguay (U-17). The only setback was a loss to the Argentina U-17s.

In 2006, the U-17s defeated and tied the German U-17s twice early in the year and then lost to two women’s
clubs before reeling off six straight wins including a 4-1 triumph against the Argentina U-20s. The only
setback in international matches was a 2-1 loss to the full Argentina Women’s National Team. In 2005, the
U-17s defeated Germany’s U-17s twice, and defeated Japan’s U-18s, but struggled on a trip to Mexico where
they lost to Mexico and Canada’s U-20s and Mexico’s U-18s.
In 2004, the U-17s defeated Canada’s U-17s with a resounding 5-2 win and downed Germany’s U-17s, 2-1.
In 2003, the U.S. went undefeated in international matches, defeating Canada and Germany (twice). The
U-17s also went undefeated against much older competition at the U.S. Soccer Festival in Houston, Texas.
In fact, the only loss of the year came in a 4-3 shootout to the U.S. U-16 Girls in the first match of the year.
The U-17s played their first three matches in late November of 2002, two against older regional teams, and
then won its first international 3-0 against Scotland in Boca Raton, Fla. on Nov. 30, 2002.

B.J. Snow was named head coach of the U.S. Under-17 Women’s National Team on Jan. 25, 2013. He became
the first full-time head coach for the U.S. U-17 WNT.
Snow is responsible for all aspects of the U.S. U-17 Women’s National Team program and will guide the team
to CONCACAF Qualifying for the 2014 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup to be held in Costa Rica. Snow previously
served as an assistant with the U.S. Under-20 Women’s National Team for the 2010 FIFA Under-20 World Cup
in Germany. He has also worked with U.S. Soccer as a clinician at a number of coaching seminars.

Snow comes to U.S. Soccer from UCLA, where he was the head women’s soccer coach for two seasons in 2011
and 2012. Snow became the fourth head coach in UCLA history in 2011 when he took over for longtime head
coach Jill Ellis, who left UCLA to accept the job with U.S. Soccer as the Women’s Development Director.

Snow arrived at UCLA as a volunteer assistant coach in 2006 and quickly rose through the coaching ranks,
going from volunteer assistant to full-time coach in the span of just one year. He was promoted to assistant
head coach in 2009. During his time at UCLA, the Bruins compiled a record of 131-22-13, reaching the NCAA
College Cup from 2006-09. UCLA also won three consecutive Pac-10 titles from 2006-08.
An excellent recruiter, Snow helped UCLA sign top-5 classes in each of his seven seasons on staff. Snow’s 2011
class, which featured 10 players with Youth National Team experience, is widely regarded as one of the best
recruiting classes in college women’s soccer history.
Snow arrived at UCLA after spending four years as the head men’s coach at his former high school, Portage
Central in Kalamazoo, Mich. During his tenure at PCHS, he led the Mustangs to three Southern Michigan
Athletic Conference (SMAC) titles, including three district championships. In addition, Portage Central set the
school record for wins in both 2004 (19) and 2005 (20). He also coached NSCAA National High School Player
of the Year Eric Alexander, who went to Indiana. Snow was also an assistant with the girls’ team at PCHS.
Snow was an excellent college player who was a four-year starter on defense for Indiana from 1996-99. Snow
helped the Hoosiers capture four-straight Big Ten titles, including back-to-back national championships in
1998 and 1999. Indiana’s record during his time in Bloomington was 81-8-3.
Snow is married to former U.S. Women’s National player and two-time Olympic gold medalist Lindsay Tarpley.
The two welcomed their first child, a son, in July of 2012.

Snow led UCLA to a 16-1-4 overall record in his first season as head coach in 2011, helping the Bruins reach
the second round of the NCAA Tournament. UCLA also compiled an 8-1-2 record in league play for a secondplace finish in the extremely competitive Pac-12 Conference.

Following is the current player pool for the U.S. Under-17 Women’s National Team. U.S. U-17 head coach
B.J. Snow will, for the most part, use this pool of players for training camps and matches in 2013 as the team
prepares for CONCACAF qualifying with the goal of earning a berth to the 2014 FIFA U-17 Women’s World
Cup in Costa Rica. Players born on or after Jan. 1, 1997 are age-eligible for the next FIFA U-17 Women’s
World Cup. The pool is constantly evolving, with new players being added and called-up. Players from the U-15
Girl’s National Team pool (‘98s) and even players two years younger (‘99s) than the cutoff date may also be
called to the U-17s.

OH SO CLOSE IN NEW ZEALAND (2008)
The high level of play displayed over the 18 days from such young players was a sight to behold, giving cause
for excitement about the U-17 and U-20 Women’s World Cups to come. The organization from the Kiwis,
as well as the support from the people of New Zealand, made the tournament memorable and added to the
excitement for these players getting their first taste of soccer at the world stage.
U. S. WNT
The 2008 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in New Zealand was held with 16 nations playing in four venues
and four stadiums – Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, and Christchurch – and the tournament organizers can
be proud of putting on a fantastic first world championship event for this age group.
The U.S. team actually started slow, losing its first match to a talented Japan team by a 3-2 score. The young
Americans also needed to come from a goal down against a spunky Paraguay side in its second group match
to win 3-1, setting up a clash with France for a spot in the quarterfinals. The USA gutted out a 1-1 tie against
the French, but that was good enough to earn a quarterfinal meeting with Korea Republic.
The first ever FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup Final opened with a startling goal for the USA in just the second
minute off a throw-in, but then Korea DPR methodically took control of the match and ended up doubling the
USA in shots. Still, the USA clung to a 1-0 lead until the North Koreans tied the game with just 13 minutes
left in regulation time. The match remained knotted at 1-1 and looked headed for penalty kicks, but Korea
DPR scored the game-winner just three minutes from the end of overtime.
Other top players for the USA included defensive midfielder Amber Brooks, defenders Cloee Colohan, Rachel
Quon and Crystal Dunn and midfielders Olivia Klei and Samantha Mewis. The Mewis sisters became the first
siblings to represent the USA in a FIFA Women’s World Cup.

Despite the loss, which ended the USA’s record of winning every “first” FIFA women’s world championship
(the 1991 FIFA Women’s World Cup, the 1996 Olympics and the 2002 FIFA U-19 Women’s World Cup), the
U.S. U-17s had a emotional run to the title game backed by some excellent individual performances. Kristie
Mewis won the Bronze Ball as the third best player in the tournament and would be named the U.S. Soccer
Young Female Athlete of the Year a few months later. DiMartino won the Silver Shoe as the second leading
scorer in the tournament and Taylor Vancil won the Golden Glove as the top ‘keeper.
WN T H I S TO RY
The USA’s World Cup run then picked up steam as the U-17s put together its best match to date, trouncing
the Koreans, 4-2. A powerful German squad awaited in the semifinal, but the USA put forth a tremendous
performance, coming back from a goal down to win, 2-1, as forwards Vicki DiMartino and Courtney Verloo
each scored. Verloo (four goals) and DiMartino (five goals) combined for nine of the USA’s 13 goals with
Kristie Mewis adding two more.

FIVE POINTS NOT ENOUGH IN AZERBAIJAN (2012)
The 2012 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Azerbaijan turned into a painful learning experience for the
young Americans who became the first team ever in a FIFA women’s competition to earn five points in
group play and yet fail to advance to the quarterfinals. The USA learned the importance of a goal or two in
advancing during a World Cup, losing out to eventual champion France on goal difference to finish third in
the group. It was the first time a U.S. women’s team had not advanced out of group play during a FIFA event.
The USA was drawn into what turned out to be by far the most difficult group, which produced the eventual
finalists and champion France. The Americans drew with the French 0-0 and tied eventual runners-up
Korea DPR 1-1, but as it turned out, a 6-0 victory over Gambia in the middle game of Group B proved to
be the USA’s undoing. The North Koreans beat Gambia 11-0 and France beat the Africans, debutantes in
a FIFA Women’s World Cup, by a 10-2 score, getting six goals in the last 20 minutes to move ahead of the
Americans on goal difference.

Still, there were many positives to be taken from the USA’s Women’s World Cup experience. The U.S. team
allowed just one goal in the tournament and battled extremely talented French and Korean teams to the
final whistle. Against North Korea, the USA took the lead on a goal from Darian Jenkins in just the second
minute, only to concede a few minutes later to eventual Golden Ball winner Ri Un Sim in the fourth. The
USA had several chances to steal the match at the end, but it was not to be and the Koreans deservedly
won the group.
The USA did get a glimpse of some future talent, especially in goal where Jane Campbell showed signs
that she could be one of the most talented young ‘keepers to emerge in a while. In the beginning of 2013,
she would get her first call-up to the full Women’s National Team. Summer Green, the USA’s leading
scorer during the year, scored her first two World Cup goals, and talented attackers Amber Munerlyn and
Jenkins also showed some speed that could make them key players in the next cycle of the U.S. Under-20s.
Defenders Maddie Bauer and Mandy Freeman also showed promise in the center of the defense.
Kudos should also go to Azerbaijan, the first predominantly Muslim country to stage a Women’s World Cup at
any level, as it put on a world class event. The tournament featured many activities around the matches and
some of the best crowds of the three FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup tournaments held so far. France would
eventually triumph in a penalty kick shootout that went eight players deep as France goalkeeper Romane
Bruneau saved RI Un Yong attempt to end the game and Les Blues lifted the trophy.

U.S. U nder -15 Girls’ N ational T eam Sets Base for the Future
PRO GRAM S
The U.S. Under-15 Girls’ National Team was instituted in 2004 to help bridge the gap between the annual
summer Under-14 Girls’ National Identification Camp (which is no longer held as it has been replaced by
several U-14 GNT training camps during the year) and the U.S. Under-17 Women’s National Team. As the
U-17s now have a Women’s World Cup, the importance of the U-15s grows greater, as this age group will have
a tangible goal when they enter their first major programming experience with the U.S. Women’s National
Teams.
The pool of 35-40 players for the U-15s will be brought to several training camps over the course of the year
in order to expose more players of this age to the national team camp environment and experience. The player
pool is identified on a year-round basis, through U.S. Soccer Training Centers, club soccer, ODP interregional
events and the U.S. U-14 Girls’ National Team camps.
The goal of the U-15s is to bring together talented players and let them play in game situations in order that
their skills, reading and runs are expressed through attractive, ball-possession soccer with an emphasis on fun,
free-flowing attacking and creative play.
Camps are often scheduled to run concurrent with older YNT camps to give the players an opportunity to watch
and play against older players and learn through those experiences.
C O M PE TI TI O NS
At this time, four training camps/events under the guidance of U-15 GNT head coach Damon Nahas are
scheduled for 2013, which will be the 10th year of activity for this age group.
Players in this year’s group of U-15s are born on or after Jan. 1, 1998, and are age-eligible to compete for
spots on the team that will attempt to qualify for the 2014 FIFA Under-17 Women’s World Cup in Costa Rica,
which has an age cutoff of players born on or after Jan. 1, 1997.

U.S. UNDER -14 GIRLS’
NATIONAL Development PROGRAM
In recent years, the United States’ play at the Youth
National Team level has confirmed its status as the top
nation for women’s and girls’ youth soccer in CONCACAF,
as well as one of the best in the world. The U.S. Under-14
Girls’ National Development Program has been in existence
since 1999 and this programming is a major reason for the
increasing quantity and quality of young players vying for
spots on the numerous U.S. Youth National Teams.
In 2013, for the second year in a row, U.S. Soccer is
planning to stage three U-14 Girls’ National Team camps.
This year, the camps will be held under the direction of
new U.S. Soccer Head Development Coach April Kater
and U.S. Soccer’s Development Director Jill Ellis, who
also oversees the U-17 Women’s National Team and U-15
Girls’ National Team. The camps have been streamlined to
take place in May, August and September, thereby starting
the identification process with this age group a bit earlier,
while giving the best young players in the country a more
complete slate of National Team programming.
The camps will likely feature 48 players in May, 36 players
in August and 26 players in September and will encompass
the top players born in 1999. Players are identified through
scores of U.S. Soccer Training Centers being staged across
the country all year long, and through other youth soccer
development programs, ODP, id2, ECNL, etc. The players
are identified and selected by U.S. Soccer’s National Staff
coaches and a select group of scouts from throughout the
United States.
U.S. Soccer started the U.S. Under-14 National
Development Program knowing that in order to continue
to compete with the elite countries on the international
level the U.S. would have to build a base of players from
the youth level up. The Under-14 program introduces the
USA’s top young players to a level of soccer they would not
otherwise experience at this point in their careers, as well
as giving them international games that are invaluable in
their development.
In the summer of 2011, before moving to the new training
camp format, the last of 13 consecutive Under-14 Girls’
Identification Camps was held. The 2011 U-14 Girls’
Identification Camp, under the direction of Ellis, took
place for the second time in Portland, Ore., as 80 girls
were put through the training sessions and games.
As with the previous format during the U.S. Under-14 Girls’
Identification Camp, the three U-14 GNT training camps
in 2013 will feature players training in the mornings with
select National Staff coaches. In the afternoon, they will
play matches against one another. The evening consists
of programming designed to introduce the athletes to the
National Team environment and how to prepare themselves
for potential call-ups to national teams in the future. The
environment assists U.S. Soccer in its continued focus and
commitment to identify the top players and develop them to
help assist in their movement up the National Teams’ ladder.
Former and current Women’s National Team players are
invited to the camps to speak about their experiences and
to work with the players.
The camps have been an important part of the girls’ first
experience of representing their country in a competitive
training situation. They players also get the opportunity
to improve their playing abilities by competing against
the best players and being instructed by USSF-licensed
coaches.
After the Girls’ Under-14 Identification Camp in 2007, for
the first time a pool of 36 players, divided into two teams,
was selected to compete in the 2008 Girls’ Nike Friendlies,
and were coached by Mike Dickey. These matches gave the
U.S. Soccer staff coaches a chance to evaluate the players
in game situations before they began to play with the U-15
Girls’ National Team at the beginning of 2008. That same
format of holding one event for U-14s in the fall after the ID
camp was applied in 2009, 2010 and 2011, but instead
36 players were brought into a training camp environment.
In 2012, the training camp format was expanded in lieu
of the summer ID camp and that will continue in 2013 as
all of the important educational elements of the ID Camp
are being maintained across the three U-14 Girls’ National
Team camps that will see as many as 100 players exposed
to the National Team for the first time.
The U-14 girls’ program has helped to produce numerous
players who have made an impact on the older levels of
the Women’s National Team. Heather O’Reilly and Lindsay
Tarpley, both 2002 U-19 Women’s World Cup Champions,
members of the Women’s National Team and 2004 and
2008 Olympic gold medalists, attended U-14 National
team camp at the beginning of their careers. Other
well-known names in the WNT program that began their
international careers as U-14s include Lori Chalupny,
Leslie Osborne and Tobin Heath, as well as 2008 FIFA
U-17 Women’s World Cup Team members Amber Brooks,
Vicki DiMartino, Kristie Mewis and Samantha Mewis and
2012 U-20 Women’s World Cup champions Julie Johnston,

The FIFA World Cup has been played 18 times since the first competition in 1930 in Uruguay. The tournament
has grown in stature over the years and has become not only the biggest sporting event in the world, but also
simply the biggest event in the world every four years. Outside of the USA’s third-place finish in the inaugural
tournament, the team’s quarterfinal run in 2002 is the team’s best ever World Cup finish.

The FIFA Women’s World Cup has been contested on six occasions with the USA earning two championships
(China ’91 and USA ’99), Germany two (USA ’03 and China ‘07) and Norway (Sweden ’95) and Japan (Germany ’11) one each. The 2007 Women’s World Cup featured 16 teams for the third time, after seeing 12
compete in both 1991 and 1995. China hosted the most recent Women’s World Cup in 2007, four years after
the event was moved to the USA following an outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. The U.S. came
agonizingly close to winning its third title in 2011, losing to Japan in penalty kicks. More detailed information
on the Women’s World Cup can be found in the U.S. Women’s National Team media guide.

O lympic F ootball Tournaments
On the women’s side, the sport wasn’t introduced into the Olympics until the 1996 competition in the United
States. The U.S. claimed the inaugural gold medal in women’s Olympic football by defeating China 2-1 on
Aug. 1, 1996, in front of a capacity crowd of 76,481 fans in Athens, Ga.
U. S. WNT
After competing as an exhibition sport at the 1900 and 1904 Olympic Games, soccer became the first team
sport included in the Olympics with the first official tournament dating back to the 1908 London Games when
the United Kingdom defeated Denmark to claim the gold medal. Since that time soccer has been part of every
Olympic Games program except the 1932 event in the United States.
The growth of professional football after World War II meant that some of the best players were not eligible
to compete in the Olympics. Nevertheless, the Olympic Tournament retained its vitality as the forum for the
amateur game. In 1952, Hungary’s great generation with players such as Grosics, Czibor, Puskas and Kocsis
won the tournament in Helsinki. After that and until Los Angeles in 1984 all the Olympic titles went to Eastern
Europe, a span of eight straight tournaments.
Through the 1928 Olympics in Holland, Olympic caps were counted as full international appearances, but
that designation changed with the advent of the World Cup in 1930. Although the Olympic Games football
tournament actually falls under the realm of the International Olympic Committee, FIFA presides over the
event on behalf of the IOC.
WN T H I S TO RY
When the Olympics moved into their modern open era, FIFA was obliged to reconsider its position for the Barcelona 1992 tournament, where for the first time the tournament was restricted to Under-23 national teams.
In 1996, FIFA altered the U-23 designation slightly, allowing teams to add three overage players into the mix,
a rule that was still in effect for the 2004 Olympiad.

Contested every two years, the FIFA Under-20 World Cup is restricted to players under 20 years of age. The tournament was renamed from the FIFA World Youth Championship in 2006. The U.S. has qualified for the tournament on 11 occasions, finishing
fourth in 1989 (Saudi Arabia). At the most recent qualifying tournament in 2011 in Guatemala, the U.S. won its group and kept
clean sheets against Suriname and Panama but lost in the quarterfinals to Guatemala and were eliminated. That performance
came eight years after forward Eddie Johnson became the first U.S. player to win a Golden Boot at a FIFA World Championship.
The U.S. has won its group in four of the last five tournaments. In 2011, Brazil won its fifth title.

FIFA U nder -20 W omen’s World CUP
Renamed as the FIFA Under-20 Women’s World Cup in 2006, the tournament was staged as a U-20 event for the first time in
2006, after two initial tournaments were played as an Under-19 tournament. The inaugural FIFA U-19 Women’s World Championship was held in Canada from Aug. 17-Sept. 1, 2002, with 12 teams from around the world competing in the event. The
inaugural tournament was an incredible success, with the USA capturing the first championship via a Lindsay Tarpley golden
goal in a 1-0 victory in front of 47,784 fans in Edmonton, Canada. The U.S. was unable to defend their crown in 2004, losing
to Germany in the semifinals in Thailand, and in 2006 finished out of the top three for the first time in their history. In 2008,
however, Golden Ball winner Sydney Leroux and Silver Ball winner Alex Morgan returned the U.S. to glory. A 1-0 victory against
Germany in the final lead the USA back to first place in 2012 with defender and captain Julie Johnston earning the Bronze Ball
as the tournament’s third most valuable player.

The Under-17 World Championship is contested every two years for players under 17 years of age. The U.S. is the only country
in the world to qualify for every U-17 World Championship, dating back to the tournament’s inception in 1985. The first three
tournaments were actually played as U-16 World Championship Tournaments, but FIFA changed the event to its present U-17
status in 1989. The CONCACAF region hosted the tournament for a second time in 2001, when Trinidad & Tobago served as
the first-ever Caribbean host for a FIFA World Championship. Through 2009, the U.S. has finished among the top five in the
tournament in three of the last six events. Mexico became the first CONCACAF team to win an outdoor men’s world championship
in 2005 with an impressive triumph in Peru. In 2011, the U.S. advanced to the knockout round for the seventh time but was
eliminated after falling to Germany in the first Round of 16 game.

OLYMPIC HISTORY
HISTORY OF SOCCER PAR TICIPATION
The first official men’s Olympic soccer tournament dates back to the 1908 London Games, where Great
Britain defeated Denmark to claim the first soccer gold medal. Since that time soccer has been part of
every Olympic Games Program, with the exception of the 1932 Los Angeles Games. The 1940 and 1944
Olympic Games were canceled completely due to the political tensions surrounding World War II.
PRO GRAM S
The United States has competed in the men’s Olympic finals 13 times, including five straight tournaments
from 1984 to 2000. In addition, the U.S. qualified for – but did not compete in – the 1980 Moscow
Games following a boycott by the U.S. Olympic Committee. The U.S. missed out on qualifying for the
2004 Athens Olympics, but returned in 2008 after finishing second at the CONCACAF qualifying event,
which was held in the U.S.
In 2012, the U.S. Women’s National Team earned its third straight gold medal and fourth overall when it
topped 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup champion Japan on Aug. 9 in front of more than 80,000 spectators
at Wembley Stadium in London. The U.S. Men were eliminated in CONCACAF qualifying in March,
dropping to third place in their group following a late El Salvador goal in the closing seconds of a 3-3 draw
on March 26.
C OM P ET I TI ONS
The 1992 Barcelona Games proved to be the turning point in the Olympic soccer tournament, when
the tournament was competed as an under-23 event for the first time. Host Spain captured the title at
Barcelona’s famed Nou Camp Stadium in front of 95,000 jubilant fans. Spain’s progress in the tournament
aided struggling attendances in 1992, which were far lower than expected. There is little doubt that the
poor attendance in Spain played a role in the changes made for the 1996 Atlanta Games.
U.S . HIS TORY & INFO
Up until and including the 1988 Seoul Games, the Olympic soccer tournament was an unrestricted event,
and thus the U.S. Olympic Soccer Team was essentially the U.S. National Team. However the tournament
structure has changed since that time, and the restrictions on age and experience of players involved in
Olympic competition has been under review by FIFA, which makes all tournament recommendations to the
International Olympic Committee (IOC).
In 2000, veteran defenders Jeff Agoos and Frankie Hejduk, as well as goalkeeper Brad Friedel, were
selected as the USA’s overage players, helping the team on an unprecedented tournament run, which saw
the U.S. advance to the medal round before falling in the semifinals to a strong Spanish team.
Not only did Atlanta ’96 signify the first time women’s soccer was included in the Olympic Program, but
the men’s tournament was adapted from its under-23 format in 1992 to include three “overage” players.
“Overage” players were those players who were either over 23 years of age or had previously played in an
Olympic Games soccer tournament. Claudio Reyna (who was age eligible in 1996, but had competed for
the U.S. in 1992), Kasey Keller and Alexi Lalas were the USA’s overage players in 1996.
For the 2008 Olympics in China, Brian McBride agreed to come out of international retirement and
captained a team that included Under-23 stars Sacha Kljestan and Freddy Adu, who had paced the U.S.
through qualifying. After a 1-0 victory against Japan in the first game, the U.S. was minutes away from
upsetting the Netherlands, reigning European champions, but had to settle for a 2-2 tie after giving up a
late free kick goal. In the third group game, eventual runner-up Nigeria took advantage of a third-minute

The U.S. Women’s National Team claimed the inaugural gold medal at the Atlanta Games with a 2-1 victory
over China before 76,481 fans on Aug. 1, 1996, in Athens, Ga. The attendance mark, which at the time
was the largest crowd to ever watch a women’s athletic event, set the stage for the incredibly successful
Women’s World Cup staged in the U.S. in 1999. The gold medal victory culminated an impressive fivegame undefeated run through the tournament in which the U.S. Women played in front of packed crowds.
As they did in 1996, the U.S. Women had a strong run to the medal stand in 2000, winning the “Group
of Death” that included China, Nigeria and Norway. In the Gold Medal match, a spunky Norwegian team
refused to yield and eventually took home the gold with a thrilling 3-2 overtime triumph.
Four years later, the U.S. came into the Olympics without Wambach, the team’s top scorer who broke her
leg in a preparation match. With Pia Sundhage leading the team into her first World Championship as head
coach, a new class of players including Hope Solo, Carli Lloyd and surprise leading scorer Angela Hucles
led the team to gold with a 1-0 victory over Brazil.
WN T H I S TO RY
The 2004 Athens Games were a fitting end for a number of U.S. veterans, including Mia Hamm, Julie
Foudy and Joy Fawcett, who went out of the sport as they came into it: as champions. The never-say-die
team won both its semifinal and final matches in overtime, courtesy of a Heather O’Reilly strike against
Germany and an Abby Wambach goal against Brazil to claim the gold.
In 2012, the U.S. Women went undefeated at 6-0-0 for the first time at an Olympic tournament. The
USA’s run included a thrilling come-from-behind victory in the semifinal against Canada, with Alex Morgan
scoring the game-winner in the 123rd minute for the latest goal ever scored in a FIFA competition. In the
gold medal match, Lloyd scored both U.S. goals against Japan and the USA became the first country – in
both men’s and women’s soccer – to earn a fourth gold.

PAN-AM GAMES
The Pan American Games are held every four years during the summer preceding the Olympic Games. In terms
of the number of sports and athletes, the Pan American Games are second in size only to the Olympics. The
men’s soccer tournament has been part of every Pan American games since its inception and in 1999 women’s
soccer made its debut.
U. S. WNT
HISTORY OF SOCCER PAR TICIPATION
After scheduling conflicts kept the United States from competing in the 2003 games in Santo Domingo in the
Dominican Republic, U.S. Soccer was able to return to the competition at the 2007 event in Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil. However, conflicts again kept the U.S. out of the event in 2011 hosted in Mexico.
The U.S. Under-20 Women’s National Team had a very strong run into the tournament finals, behind a blistering
six-goal tournament from Lauren Cheney (U.S. Soccer’s Young Female Athlete of the Year in 2007). After
winning their group with a 2-1-0 record, head coach Jill Ellis’ U-20s defeated the full Canada Women’s National
Team 2-1 in the semifinal, then lost to a steamrolling full Brazil Women’s National Team 5-0 in the final (Brazil
outscored its opposition 33-0 in five games in preparation for the 2007 Women’s World Cup).
WN T H I S TO RY
In 2007, the U.S. Men’s team was represented by head coach Bob Jenkins’ Under-18 Men’s National Team, and
after opening the tournament with a strong 2-1 win over Venezuela, the U.S. then dropped its next two games to
be eliminated. In its second match, the U.S. led Bolivia 2-0 at the half, only to lose 4-2. Against Mexico in its
final group game, the teams were tied 0-0 with 15 minutes remaining when the U.S. was reduced to 10 men,
eventually losing 2-0.
In 1999, the U.S. Under-23 National Team competed in the men’s tournament, while the U.S. Under-18
Women’s National Team represented the U.S. in the women’s competition. In the 1999 tournament held in
Winnipeg, Canada, the U.S. Men captured the second Pan-Am Games Bronze Medal in their history with a 2-1
victory over the Canada in the third-place match.
The women’s U-18 squad captured gold medal in the first-ever Pan American Women’s Final with a hard-fought
1-0 win over an older Mexico squad. The U.S. Women dominated their opponents throughout the tournament,
going undefeated in six games (5-0-1) and outscoring their opposition 22-2.
PRO GRAM S
Carlos Bocanegra and a young Landon Donovan led the USA with goals in that match. The Under-23 Men, which
were represented by U.S. stars from the U-23, U-20 and U-17 levels, did well to rebound from a disappointing
1995 tournament by taking home the bronze.
The first Pan American Games were held in 1951, but its history goes back two decades earlier. In 1932,
the South American delegation of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) proposed the formation of an
organization to promote amateur sports in the Americas. The idea led to the first Pan American Sports Congress
in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1940. The 16 countries represented at the meeting formed the Pan American
Sports Committee, and agreed to hold the first Pan American Games in 1942 in Buenos Aires, but World War II
forced their postponement.
The soccer tournament at the Pan American Games has never enjoyed a very high profile, perhaps because in the
past competing nations have not sent their strongest team. The one exception was the 1975 Games in Mexico
City, when 110,000 spectators turned out at Azteca Stadium to watch the final between Mexico and Brazil.
Like many of the competing nations, the United States has used the competition as a preparation for the Olympic
Games. In 1991, the U.S. won its only Pan American gold medal in soccer in Havana, Cuba, defeating Mexico
2-1 in overtime. Former U.S. Men’s National Team midfielder Joe-Max Moore scored a sensational free kick to
win that game for the Americans.
C O M PE TI TI O NS
The idea stayed alive, and the first Pan American Games finally opened in Buenos Aires on Feb. 25, 1951. The
organization governing the Games was renamed the Pan American Sports Organization (PASO) and is made up
of nations of North, Central and South America and the Caribbean.

CONCACAF WOMEN’S
GOLD CUP HISTORY
Born out the success of the 1999 Women’s World Cup, the first CONCACAF Women’s Gold Cup was played in
2000 in the United States. The tournament has been staged two more times (in 2002 and 2006), with each of
those events also doubling as qualifying for the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
2000 WOMEN’S GOLD CUP
PRO GRAM S
(Hershey, Pa., Louisville, Ky., Foxborough, Mass., USA)
The inaugural Women’s Gold Cup kicked off in three venues in the United States and included six members of
CONCACAF (Canada, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, USA, Trinidad & Tobago) and two invited teams (Brazil,
China PR). The U.S. dominated tournament play, going unbeaten in five games
(4-0-1) and adding another international championship to its trophy case.
C OM P ET I TI ONS
The U.S. crown came via a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Brazil in the finals played at Foxboro Stadium on July 3,
2000. Tiffeny Milbrett scored the game’s only goal after the two teams had fought to a 0-0 draw in their opening
round finale, one of three consecutive shutouts for the U.S. in the first round. The USA actually won Group A
only after winning the final tiebreaker over Brazil (a coin flip after the teams finished even on results and goals).
In the semifinals, the U.S. were able to hold off an improving Canadian side 4-1 and moved into the Gold Cup
Finals against Brazil, who knocked off pre-tournament favorite China PR in the other semifinal game 3-2 in
sudden-death overtime. Goalkeeper Siri Mullinix led the USA backline with four shutouts and allowed just a
single goal in five games, while earning Best Goalkeeper honors. Defender Joy Fawcett and midfielder Julie
Foudy were also named to the all-tournament team along with Milbrett.

With the tournament doubling as 2003 Women’s World Cup qualifying, the 2002 Women’s Gold Cup did not
feature any invited teams. Instead, eight CONCACAF nations battled in four venues in two countries along the
Pacific coast for two guaranteed Women’s World Cup berths and a third playoff spot.
The Americans kicked off first round play in Group A with back-to-back 3-0 shutout victories over Mexico and
Trinidad & Tobago. The U.S. closed out group play with a 9-0 trouncing of Panama in front of a Women’s Gold
Cup record crowd of 21,522 at SAFECO Field in Seattle, Wash.
In the semifinals, the U.S. Women earned both a berth into the 2003 Women’s World Cup and into the 2002
Women’s Gold Cup final with a blistering 7-0 victory over Costa Rica.
With both teams qualified for the 2003 Women’s World Cup, Canada would battle the USA in a classic match
for the 2002 crown. After battling to a 1-1 draw through regulation, U.S. forward Mia Hamm won the game with
a stunning golden goal, handing the U.S. their second consecutive regional title.

(Carson, Calif., Miami, Fla., USA)
U. S. WNT
The 2006 edition of the CONCACAF Women’s Gold Cup was staged from November 19-26, 2006, in two U.S.
venues. The six-team tournament began on November 19 with two first round matches at Tropical Park Stadium
in Miami, Fla., with Jamaica and Mexico advancing to the tournament semifinals with victories over Panama
(2-0) and Trinidad & Tobago (3-0), respectively.
In the semifinals at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., a direct berth to the 2007 Women’s World Cup in
China was on the line for four teams. After watching Canada down Jamaica 4-0 to advance, the U.S. squared off
against Mexico. Behind two goals from Abby Wambach, the U.S. Women were able to ease their way into China.
In the tournament’s final game, the United States and Mexico staged an epic battle, eventually won in overtime
by the USA 2-1 on the last kick of the game, a penalty kick by Kristine Lilly in stoppage time of overtime. The
2-1 victory in extra time was reminiscent of the USA’s 2002 victory over Canada on a Golden Goal.

ALGARVE CUP HISTORY
For almost 18 years, the annual Algarve Cup on the southern coast of Portugal has been a constant in the USA’s
March schedule. The tournament has grown from humble beginnings to become one of the most competitive
women’s events in the world, surpassed only by the European championships, the Women’s World Cup and the
Olympics.

The trip and tournament have become one of the favorites for the U.S. players and staff, not only for the scenic
surroundings, excellent food and great weather, but also for the world class matches and tournament format that
sends only the group champions to the title game, making every match and goal vitally important.
The USA has a 46-9-8 all-time Algarve Cup record through the 2011 tournament. The U.S. Women’s National
Team has lost just 55 total games in its 26-year history, meaning 16 percent of those losses have come at the
Algarve Cup, a stat representative of the difficulty of this competition. Several U.S. players have won the MVP
award at the Algarve Cup including Shannon Boxx (twice), Tiffeny Milbrett and most recently Carli Lloyd.
The Algarve Cup is organized jointly by the Portuguese Football Association and the FA of a Nordic country,
which rotate responsibility on a yearly basis. The first year the tournament was held in 1994, just six teams
participated. It moved to eight teams the following year and stayed in that format until 2002, when a Group C
was added to increase the competition to 12 nations. Since then, the tournament has featured four match days
with six games each day, the final of which are the placement matches. The teams in Group A and B compete for
the title as the group winners play in the championship game. The two second-place finishers in Groups A and
B play for third place while the third-place finishers play for fifth. The Group C teams compete for a chance to
play for spots 7-11 as the winner of Group C play the best fourth place team from Groups A and B. The secondplace team in Group C plays the fourth-place team from Groups A or B and the third and fourth place teams in
Group C play each other for a second time.
Impressively, the USA has won seven of the last nine Algarve Cups through 2011, but in the early years the tournament was the bugaboo of the U.S. team as the Americans won the title just once in their first eight trips. The
USA first attended in 1994 and 1995, missed the 1996 competition to prepare for the Atlanta Olympics and
then was not invited in 1997. Those first four trips to Portugal produced no first place trophies before the USA
finally broke through in 2000 with a 1-0 win against Norway in the title game on a goal from Brandi Chastain.
In 2001, the USA brought a very young team to the tournament as all the veterans were preparing for the first
WUSA season, and the team had its worst performance, losing three games and getting a lone win over host
Portugal. That tournament was marked by an amazing match in which the U.S. novices built a 3-1 lead over
Olympic champion Norway in the match for fifth place only to watch it slip away as the Scandinavians roared
back to score three times in the final 17 minutes.
The 2002 Algarve Cup was also an odd one as the USA got a win, a tie and a loss in group play as Shannon
MacMillan put on one of the best Algarve Cup performances in U.S. history, scoring seven of the USA’s eight
total goals, including all three in the 3-2 win against Denmark to take fifth place.
The U.S. Women started their current run of success in southern Portugal in 2003, defeating China PR in the
championship game on goals from MacMillan and Mia Hamm, who also assisted on each other’s score. In 2004,
the team lost a first-round game to Sweden 3-1 but advanced to the championship game on goal difference
and pounded Norway 4-1 for the title as Abby Wambach scored a hat trick. This tournament also marked the
first time Algarve Cup matches were played at the beautiful Stadium Algarve, an ultra-modern facility built for

the 2004 European Championships. Up until that point, all the games were played at small stadiums all over
the Algarve coast, many of which still host games to this day, even though the Stadium Algarve is used for a few
matches every year.
In the 2006, the USA and Germany met again for the title, and despite a dominating performance by the Americans, the match went to penalty kicks where Germany prevailed to take the title.
In 2010, the USA won all four games including consecutive wins against Norway, Sweden and Germany in the
championship game, a 3-2 victory in muddy conditions. Lauren Cheney had a breakout tournament, scoring four
times, including the winning goal in the title game. In 2011, the USA once again won all four games, stretching
its Algarve Cup unbeaten streak (in regulation) to a record 29 matches. In the championship game, the U.S. met
surprise finalist Iceland and fell behind 2-1 before roaring back for a 4-2 victory. Alex Morgan and Lloyd both
scored three times in the tournament, with Morgan taking the Top Scorer award due to playing fewer minutes.
WN T H I S TO RY
After wining every game at the tournament only twice in the first 11 trips, the USA won all four matches in 2007
and 2008, going undefeated in group play and then beating Denmark for the title 2-0 in 2007 on goals from
Kristine Lilly and Carli Lloyd and 2-1 in 2008, on goals from Natasha Kai and Abby Wambach. In 2009, the
USA had one of lowest goal scoring outputs at the tournament, finding the net just five times, but still made the
championship game. In that title match, the USA trailed Sweden 1-0 until the final seconds of regulation before
Shannon Boxx equalized. A new tournament rule meant that the teams would not play overtime and the match
went directly to penalty kicks, where the USA fell 4-3.
U. S. WNT
In 2005, the USA put together one of its most impressive Algarve Cup runs ever, winning all four games for just
the second time and for the first time did not allow a goal. The USA withstood a second-half onslaught from
Germany to triumph 1-0 in the title game on a goal from Christie Welsh.

For their excellence at the highest levels of the sport, U.S. Soccer named U.S. Men’s National Team forward
Clint Dempsey as the 2012 Male Athlete of the Year and U.S. Women’s National Team forward Alex Morgan
as the 2012 Female Athlete of the Year. U.S. U-17 MNT forward Rubio Rubin and U-20 WNT defender Julie
Johnston won the Young Male and Young Female Awards, respectively. The U.S. Soccer Athlete of the Year
award is the highest honor awarded to soccer players in the United States.
The Male Athlete of the Year honor is the third for Dempsey, who previously won in 2007 and 2011. Dempsey
becomes the second three-time winner of the award, with goalkeeper Kasey Keller also winning three times
(1997, 1999, 2005). Landon Donovan, a four-time winner (2003, 2004, 2009, 2010), is the only player to
have won more. Donovan and Dempsey are the only players to have won the award on back-to-back occasions.
The award is the first for Morgan and it comes in the Diamond Bar, Calif. native’s first time on the ballot.
As in years past, online votes registered at ussoccer.com counted for 50 percent of the total votes, while the
other 50 percent was represented by votes compiled from members of the national media and U.S. Soccer
representatives, including National Team coaches and the members of the U.S. Soccer Board of Directors. A
player can only win the Young Athlete award once in his or her career.
WN T H I S TO RY
The U.S. Soccer Athlete of the Year awards have a longer history than any major award in American soccer –
more than 20 years. They join the FIFA Players of the Year as the only two awards to honor both the top male
and the top female in the sport.
U.S. SOCCER MALE ATHLETE OF THE YEAR: CLINT DEMPSEY
PRO GRAM S
Dempsey led U.S. scorers in 2012 with six goals, including five in the Semifinal Round of
2014 FIFA World Cup Qualifying. The forward was also a big part of the USA’s memorable
win against Italy on Feb. 29, tallying the lone goal in the 1-0 victory in Genoa. He now has
30 goals in his career, tied with Brian McBride for third all-time. In England, Dempsey
concluded his career at Fulham as the team’s all-time leading scorer in the Premier League
before moving to Tottenham in August in one of the highest-profile deals ever for an American
abroad.
U.S. SOCCER FEMALE ATHLETE OF THE YEAR: ALEX MORGAN
The Female Athlete of the Year award is the first for Morgan and it comes in the Diamond
Bar, Calif. native’s first time on the ballot. The forward became only the second player U.S.
history to record at least 20 goals and 20 assists in a calendar year, following Mia Hamm in
1998. She also led all U.S. scorers with 28 goals which is good for third-best in a calendar
year behind Abby Wambach (31 in 2004) and Michelle Akers (39 in 1991). Morgan has also
compiled a team-leading 21 assists in 2012, tied for second-most in a single year.
U-17 MNT midfielder Rubin took home the Young Male Athlete of the Year award after he
finished as the team’s leading goal scorer with 11 goals and tied for second in assists with
two. His commitment, one-on-one skills, willingness to defend and positive approach to
the game help him stand out as a key player for the U-17s as they look toward the U-17
CONCACAF Championship and hopefully a World Cup berth in 2013. A player can only win
the Young Athlete award once in his or her career.
U-20 WNT defender Julie Johnston took home the Young Female Athlete of the Year award
in one of the tightest races in the award’s history, just edging out her U-20 teammates Kealia
Ohai, who scored the winning goal in the U-20 Women’s World Cup Final, and midfielder
Vanessa DiBernardo. The U-20 WNT captain was instrumental in helping the team win the
FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Japan, starting all six games on the backline and earning
the Bronze Ball as the tournament’s third-best player, an extremely rare feat for a defender.
The Mesa, Ariz. native also made an impact with Santa Clara, where the junior was the
team’s leading scorer with eight goals and five assists in 14 appearances. U. S. HISTO RY & IN FO

As U.S. Soccer’s CEO / Secretary General since June 15, 2000, Flynn has taken his lessons learned from
the field and applied them administratively at the sports highest level to help spur the United States Soccer
Federation’s growth into one of the most respected national governing bodies in the country. Through his
tireless efforts, Flynn has been responsible for instilling the groundwork for U.S. Soccer’s success in the new
millennium.
PRO GRAM S
In his more than 12 years as the organization’s CEO, Flynn has overhauled U.S. Soccer’s business framework,
leading to among other things the development and construction of U.S. Soccer’s National Training Center
at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., which opened in June 2003. With a renewed focus on National
Team and player development, as well as facility development, more and more opportunities are arising
for youth players of all ages, highlighted by the addition of a number of Youth National Team programs,
an increase in players at the U-17 Men’s National Team’s Residency Program in Bradenton, Fla., and the
creation of the Development Academy Program.
During the summer of 2003 Flynn served as the Chief Executive Officer of the FIFA Women’s World Cup
USA 2003, putting his strong business background to work in preparing the framework to help the Local
Organizing Committee successfully stage the tournament. With attendance peaking above 350,000 despite
just four months to organize the event, the tournament was the most financially profitable Women’s World
Cup ever.
C OM P ET I TI ONS
Flynn’s career path has included both sports marketing and management positions at Anheuser-Busch, as
well as more than 18 years of experience within the sport of soccer at World Cup 1994, the U.S. Soccer
Federation and the U.S. Soccer Foundation.
For two years, the 57-year-old Flynn served as Executive Director of the U.S. Soccer Foundation, where he
was responsible for the organization’s overall management. Prior to joining the Foundation, he played key
roles at both World Cup 1994, serving as the Venue Director in Chicago, and at U.S. Soccer, where from
1994 to 1998 he managed the governing body’s day-to-day operations at the Federation headquarters in
Chicago.
Flynn was a part of the amazing growth of Anheuser-Busch, where he served in numerous capacities both
domestically and internationally. He was also directly involved in Anheuser-Busch’s sponsorship of the 1986
World Cup in Mexico, which served as the springboard for their future involvement in the sport on a longterm basis.
U.S . HIS TORY & INFO

Peter Walton as the General Manager.
The organization’s goals are to increase the quality of officiating in U.S. and Canadian professional leagues,
develop more professional quality officials at a younger age and produce officials who will represent the United
States and Canada in FIFA competitions.

In the tradition of many world soccer federations and the FIFA House in Zurich, the U.S. Soccer
Federation took up residence in two refurbished mansions in Chicago’s Prairie Avenue Historical
District more than 18 years ago. Since dubbed the U.S. Soccer House, the corner of 18th Street
and Prairie Avenue now serves as the American home of the world’s most popular sport.
Dating back to 1873, Soccer House was built by William Wallace Kimball, founder of Kimball
pianos and organs; Joseph Coleman, president of a hardware manufacturing firm; and Coleman’s
wife, Leonora, who served on the board of the Women’s Christian Association in 1886.
There was a time when Prairie Avenue, from 16th to 22nd streets, was the “Fifth Avenue” of the
Midwest. The area is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the men and women who
helped shape the industrialization of the Midwest and in 1979 it was designated an historical
district.
Nearly 20 millionaires once resided within Soccer House’s six-block area. Families who were
influential in the industrialization of the Midwest and called South Prairie Avenue home
included: George Pullman (railroad cars), John J. Glessner (farming implements), Marshall Field
(retailer), Samuel Allerton (banker) and Philip Armour (meat packing).

Coleman-Ames House
Construction of Prairie Avenue began after
the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 when Pullman
became the first millionaire to move to the
area, building the grandest of Prairie Avenue
mansions in 1873. Friends of Pullman
followed his lead and also built extravagant
homes on Prairie Avenue. The Marshall Field
House was the first in the neighborhood to be
electrically lit.
With its historic appearance, Soccer House
has been Chicago’s home to Hollywood,
serving as a location shoot for a number of
motion pictures, including extended use for
the filming of Richard Gere’s “Primal Fear.”
U. S. HISTO RY & IN FO
It wasn’t until the late 1940s that a
connecting link between the Kimball and
Coleman coach houses was erected, designed
to give the courtyard a unified appearance.
C O M PE TI TI O NS
Neighboring the Kimball House to the south
is the Coleman-Ames House built in 1886.
Numerous families have resided in this
mansion. Coleman, the original owner, lived
in the home until 1888, when he sold the
mansion to Massachusetts coal merchant
Miner T. Ames. Ames resided in the house
for just two years before he died in 1890.
The Coleman-Ames house is home to U.S.
Soccer’s coaching, refereeing, accounting
and technology departments, as well as the
set of Studio 90.

The Kimball House, built of Bedford
limestone and topped with a slate roof, has
an exterior consisting of numerous large
and small turrets, gables, balconies and
ornamental iron-railed galleries. The interior
of Kimball House is as extravagant as its
exterior, with wood abundant throughout. The
ceilings are beamed in oak and mahogany,
and fireplaces made of onyx warm the parlor.

The complex is a first-class facility that shows the integration of all the U.S. National Team
programs, from U-14 developmental camps straight through to the full men’s and women’s
teams playing in the main stadium.
The Home Depot Center officially opened for U.S. Soccer on June 6, 2003, as the U.S. Under-17
Men’s National Team arrived to begin training. The first game at The HDC was played in the
stadium one day later on June 7, 2003, as the Los Angeles Galaxy topped the Colorado Rapids,
2-0, in Major League Soccer action.
Located on the campus of California State University, Dominguez Hills, the National Training
Center includes four grass soccer fields, two FieldTurf soccer fields and a general training area.
The complex also includes three additional practice fields for Chivas USA, the Galaxy and the
college, as well as all the necessary team support facilities, including locker rooms, a training
room, a weight room and office space for staff. U.S. Soccer has approximately a dozen full-time
staff working out of The National Training Center.
In a very short time, The Home Depot Center established itself as the center of the soccer
world in the United States, and was the main reason the United States was able to serve as an
emergency host for the 2003 FIFA Women’s World Cup. The facility hosted early round games,
as well as the third-place match and the final on short notice after the tournament was moved
from China to the United States.
The stadium has also hosted numerous international and professional tournaments, including

Founded in 1904 to provide unity among national soccer associations, the Federation Internationale de

prestigious sports organization in the world.
FIFA was established on May 21, 1904, by seven national associations — Belgium, Denmark, France,
Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland — to “promote the game of Association Football (as opposed to
rugby or American football), to foster friendly relations among National Associations, Confederations, and their
officials and players, by promoting the organization of football matches at all levels, and to control every type

As organizers of the biggest event in the world, the FIFA World Cup, 204 countries entered the two-year
qualifying process to earn one of 31 spots alongside host South Africa at the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
FIFA’s birth was a result of the growing number of international games shortly after the dawn of the 20th
century. Soccer leaders in Europe felt that such expanded competition required a governing body, and under
the leadership of Robert Guerin, a French journalist, the seven founding members gathered in Paris to shape
the future of the sport. Guerin, FIFA’s first president, presided over the organization from 1904 to 1906.
Seven other men have also served as FIFA president, including Jules Rimet for 33 years from 1921 to 1954.

who was elected to his post in 1974 and served six terms. The current FIFA general secretary is Jérôme
Valcke, who joined FIFA in 2003 as Director of Marketing & TV before being elected to his current post in
June of 2007.
Under FIFA’s governance soccer has become the world’s most popular sport, played by more than 150 million
registered athletes — including 10 million women — and viewed by billions of fans in stadiums and on
television worldwide. An estimated 715.1 million people watched the final match of the 2006 FIFA World
Cup held in Germany and the 2010 event in South Africa was broadcast to 204 countries on 245 different
channels. Inside the stadiums, a total of 3,170,856 spectators attended the 64 matches an average of
49,670 per match and the third highest aggregate attendance behind USA 1994 and Germany 2006.
Among the official world championships staged by FIFA are the World Cup, the Women’s World Cup, the
Under-20 World Cup, the Under-20 Women’s World Cup, the Under-17 World Cup, the Under-17 Women’s
World Cup, the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup and the Futsal World Cup. Additionally, FIFA oversees the

teams within CONCACAF, and rotated to an odd-year, summer schedule in 2003. Mexico, six-time winner of
the Gold Cup, defeated the U.S. in the 1993, 1998, 2009 and 2011 finals and downed Brazil in ’96 and
again in 2003. The U.S. has won four Gold Cups, the inaugural 1991 event, and again in 2002, 2005, 2007.
The 2000 Gold Cup was perhaps the most surprising, with Canada taking home their first major international
title as the U.S. and Mexico failed to qualify for the semifinals. In every other edition of the Gold Cup, the
winner earns a berth to the FIFA Confederations Cup.
The Women’s Gold Cup has also been very successful, with the U.S. winning the first three events in 2000,
2002, 2006. In 2002, it took a golden goal from Mia Hamm for the U.S. to dispatch Canada in the final, 2-1,
and in 2000 the U.S. downed guest-team Brazil 1-0 to claim the championship. In the most recent edition
of the tournament, the U.S. again prevailed in extra time, this time courtesy of a Kristine Lilly penalty kick in
the 120th minute.
CONCACAF competed in the FIFA Club World Cup for the first time in 2000, when Mexico’s Necaxa impressed
with a third place finish in the 2000 tournament in Brazil. The CONACACAF club tournament, which is
contested amongst the 38 nations’ domestic league champions, was won by D.C. United in 1998 and 2001.
In 2008, CONCACAF unveiled the Champions League to replace the Champions Cup and decide the region’s
annual club title. Real Salt Lake narrowly missed out on the 2011 title, losing 3-2 (agg.) to Monterrey in the
two-legged final.
In 1994, CONCACAF joined Europe and South America as the only confederations to host three or more World
Cup finals. Mexico welcomed the world twice, in 1970 and 1986, while the United States staged the event
for the first time in 1994.
CONCACAF’s headquarters are located in New York City with Jeffrey Webb serving as President.

Approximately 3 million players between the ages of
five and 19 are registered with US Youth Soccer, which
maintains a network of 55 state associations. Programs
are administered with the help of more than 300,000
coaches and 600,000 volunteers.
As part of that development, the USASA stages the
annual National Cup Finals, which features champions
from each of the four U.S. Soccer regions (Regions I, II,
III and IV) squaring off in 6 different competitions. The
USASA also organizes national tournaments for Veterans
and Co-Ed teams and will be introducing a new Women’s
National Championships tournament in 2013.
The USASA, in association with the U.S. Soccer
Federation, helps stage the annual Lamar Hunt U.S.
Open Cup, the oldest annual team tournament in the
United States dates back to 1914, when the Brooklyn
Field Club won the first national title by defeating the
Brooklyn Celtics in Pawtucket, R.I. In 2013, to celebrate
the centennial of the U.S. Soccer Federation, the USASA
will be organizing a number of small-sided competitions
around the nation.
US Youth Soccer offers both recreational and
competitive programs. The recreational programs offer
great opportunities for players primarily interested
in fun, fitness and friendship. Small-sided games
are encouraged for players under the age of 10. For
more advanced players, US Youth Soccer offers highly
competitive or select leagues including the National
Championship Series, Olympic Development Program,
Regional Leagues and the National League.
In addition, US Youth Soccer offers TOP Soccer (The
Outreach Program for Soccer) for young athletes who
are mentally or physically challenged and Soccer Across
America for young people living in underserved or
economically disadvantaged areas.
Every year the organization also stages the National
Youth Championship with different national titles up
for grabs in boys and girls soccer for youth players
from Under-14 through Under-19. 2013, will mark
the addition of the Under-13 Boys and Girls age group. The Under-19 Boys’ James P. McGuire Cup is the most
prestigious of the competition’s trophies, dating back to
1935. First competed in 1980, the J. Ross Stewart Cup
for Under-19 Girls is the oldest women’s youth trophy.
In the summer of 2005, US Youth Soccer moved
their national headquarters to the new soccer complex
constructed in Frisco, Texas, where they share office
space with FC Dallas of MLS.

The Soccer Association for Youth (SAY) is an national

As SAY is a recreational “Grass Roots” organization with
only minimal employees’ nationwide, it is able to keep its
fees low. SAY’s motto of “Kids Having FUN!” is based on
the premise that teams are balanced to discourage “blow
outs.” Every child must play at least half of every game,
with an aim toward equal participation. SAY still allows
its areas the flexibility to form leagues in a manner that
best suits their own organization.
With more than 120,000 players, 36,000 coaches and
3000 volunteer administrators; SAY has mastered the
art of “Customer Service” over the years. Hosting a full
line of low‑cost coaching manuals and supplies, most
orders are shipped within 24 hours. SAY membership
includes many free items such as rulebooks for coaches
and administrative handbooks, as well as Liability and
Accident insurance at no additional charge. There are
never any additional team fees or sanctioning fees.
AYSO’s success has been based on the philosophies
of “Everyone Plays” and “Balanced Teams,” ideas
originated more than 40 years ago by founder Hans F.W.
Stierle. AYSO requires every player to play at least half of
every game and that individual teams are balanced every
year to assure fair play. Other AYSO tenets include open
registration, positive coaching and good sportsmanship.
AYSO is a volunteer-driven organization of more than
260,000 parents and friends who serve as coaches,
referees and team administrators. A full-time staff

USL has become the largest organization of elite-level
soccer leagues in North America by building on the vision,
commitment, and passion of players, fans and investors.
USL continues to be a driving force in the growth of
soccer in the United States, Canada and Caribbean.
From its beginnings as a five-team regional indoor league
in 1986, USL has grown to scores of teams competing in
seven separate leagues across the country – USL PRO,
the MISL, the PDL, the W-League, the Super-20 League,
the Super Y-League and the NGS.
USISL, as it was then known, created an amateur
outdoor league in 1989 that divided into professional
and amateur leagues in 1995 after continued growth.
Those leagues would become the PSL and PDL with
the A-League joining USL in 1997. The W-League was
founded in 1995. The Super Y-League was established
in 1999 and has grown to more than 500 teams and
includes an ODP identification program. The Next
Generation Series (NGS) kicks off in 2013 featuring
elite U11-U14 teams. USL PRO is the third level of

The U.S. Soccer Foundation’s Soccer for Success program is an innovative youth development after-school program
that uses soccer as a tool to combat childhood obesity and promote healthy lifestyles for children in underserved urban
communities. The Foundation partners with community-based organizations across the country to operate Soccer for
Success sites – providing thousands of children, in grades K-8, with free after-school programming.
WN T H I S TO RY
The U.S. Soccer Foundation is a recognized leader in sports-based youth development programs for children in
underserved urban communities. Since its inception in 1994, the Foundation has provided more than $55 million
in funding to create and sustain innovative programs across all 50 states. Proven to deliver positive health and
social outcomes, the Foundation’s affordable initiatives offer safe environments for both boys and girls to thrive.
Headquartered in Washington, D.C. the U.S. Soccer Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
In 2011, the Corporation for National and Community Service awarded the U.S. Soccer Foundation a $2 million
federal grant from the 2011 Social Innovation Fund to use Soccer for Success as a vehicle to promote healthy lifestyles
and reduce obesity rates among at-risk youth in urban areas. Currently, the Soccer for Success program serves 8,000
children in 8 cities nationwide and will expand to serve 12,000 children within the next year.
In addition to programming, the U.S. Soccer Foundation works to build quality soccer fields that provide children with
safe and accessible places to play. The Foundation engages community partners to identify vacant or underutilized
space and works with them to build fields that make a positive impact in their communities. Recognizing the lack
of space available in many urban areas, the U.S. Soccer Foundation builds smaller sized fields called Mini-Pitches.

The U.S. Soccer Foundation provides uniforms and soccer equipment to children in underserved communities around
the world through its Passback program. New and gently-used soccer gear is collected by individuals, organizations,
and teams and then redistributed to groups who need it most. Since its inception, Passback has collected close to
800,000 pieces of equipment and redistributed it to schools, clubs and youth organizations in 127 countries. To learn
more about this program, visit passback.org.
Along with helping build quality soccer fields, the U.S. Soccer Foundation has provided over $55 million in grants
and financial support to grow the sport of soccer in the United States. Since the first grants were awarded in 1995,
the Foundation has supported the development of over 1,100 fields and impacted over 4.9 million total youth players
across all 50 states. In 2011, the U.S. Soccer Foundation awarded 63 grants totaling over $2.5 million to non-profit
organizations serving youth in 30 states. The 2011 grant awards reflect the Foundation’s focus on improving the health
and well-being of children in underserved communities.
As part of the Foundation’s work in Washington, D.C., it has joined with a bipartisan group of Members of Congress
to establish and support the Congressional Soccer Caucus. The mission of the Caucus is to encourage legislation,
activities and events that promote the game and issues affecting the soccer community.

The Foundation is dedicated to assisting those who serve youth through soccer in urban communities. Each year the
Foundation organizes the Urban Soccer Symposium, an event which brings together non-profit organizations that directly
support soccer programs and projects to share funding resources, best practices and other technical expertise. The
Foundation has laid the groundwork for networking and partnership opportunities among urban soccer programs nationwide.

Members are elected in three categories – Player, Builder and Veteran (player) – and elections and inductions

The Hall of Fame also possesses an archive of more than 80,000 items, which make up one of the largest
collections of soccer artifacts and records in the world. The collection includes such rare pieces as the world’s
oldest soccer ball (made in the USA) and both the 1991 and 1999 FIFA Women’s World Cup Trophy. The collection
also includes the North American Soccer League archive, the 1994 FIFA World Cup USA archive, a rare soccer

Soccer ON TELEVISion
The 2010 FIFA World Cup was a landmark moment in the history of soccer on television in the United
States, with record-breaking viewership across both the ESPN and Univision networks. The notable viewership
validated ESPN’s decision to increase their attention on the world’s game and put impressive amounts of
resources towards the FIFA World Cup.
U. S. WNT
As the game has grown in the United States, so has the amount of soccer on television. With the amount
of coverage increasing almost yearly, soccer fans in the U.S. are able to watch games – in a single weekend
no less – from countries in Italy, Germany, England, Scotland, Spain, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Australia,
Holland, and more.
Due in part to those impressive numbers, other broadcasters such as NBC and beIN SPORT have jumped at
the opportunity to broadcast U.S. Soccer, Major League Soccer and international league matches across the
world. But it was FOX and Telemundo that made the biggest splash with their purchase of the broadcast rights
for the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups (see below).
201 8 / 20 22 FIFA WO R L D CUP TELEVISION RIGHTS
WN T H I S TO RY
While league rights have changed hands among these high-profile broadcasters in the past few years, the
coverage and viewership of the sport continues to be strong. The U.S. viewer has benefited from an overall
increase in the number of televised games, whether it is domestic or international matches, and it looks likely
there is room to grow in the years to come.
In October of 2011, the amazing growth of the sport was demonstrated when a bidding war over the U.S. broadcast rights for the
2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups played out in Zurich. In the end, a record sum of more than $1 billion was paid by Fox and
Telemundo, an increase of at least 147 percent over the combined $425 million that ESPN and Univisión paid for the rights to
the ‘10 and ‘14 tournaments.
Fox paid a reported $450 to $500 million to beat out ESPN and NBC for the English rights, while Telemundo is said to have paid
$600 million to outbid Univision for the Spanish rights.
