Gotham FC defender Crystal Dunn and San Diego Wave center back Naomi Girma headline the 26-player roster named by U.S. women's national team manager Emma Hayes for a week-long training camp set to begin on Jan. 14 in Carson, California.

The camp, which falls outside of a FIFA international window, won't include any matches, but will be used to establish depth ahead of the SheBelieves Cup in February. No European-based players were called in, while others, including star forwards Trinity Rodman, Sophia Smith and Mallory Swanson are being given continued rest following the NWSL season.

Another U.S. mainstay, midfielder Rose Lavelle, recently underwent ankle surgery, and also won't attend.

All told, 11 of the 22 members of the 2024 gold medal-winning Olympic Team will be in attendance, allowing 13 players with three or fewer caps, including six uncapped players, an opportunity to gain experience in the USWNT setup.

The camp will also run concurrently with a 24-player "futures camp" featuring younger prospects. That roster, comprised of players who are all age-eligible for the U.S. Under-23 WNT, will be announced on Wednesday.

"We want to continue to foster an environment and culture on the National Team that is player-centric and female athlete-centric and helps the players maximize their abilities," said Hayes. "Having positive, growth experiences with the USWNT will help them in their careers and help us build a deeper player pool.

"I'm really looking forward to getting on the field with these players and the players in the Futures Camp to get in a solid week of training with both groups without having to make adjustments for the impact that a match would have on our loading and training plan. I can't wait."

The camp is the first since veteran goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher announced her retirement back in November. North Carolina Courage netminder Casey Murphy, with 20 international appearances, leads the goalkeeping contingent for this gathering of USWNT players.

Dunn returns to the camp after missing all the fall games and is the most capped player on the roster with 155 appearances for the USWNT. She is followed by defender Emily Sonnett with 103 caps and forward Seattle Reign forward Lynn Williams with 75.
