The United States U-16 girls' national soccer team is a youth soccer team operated under the auspices of U.S. Soccer. Its primary role is the development of players in preparation for the senior national team, as well as bridging the development between the youth competition levels of the U-15 and the U-17.
The U-16 team initially had no international competition and was used to prepare players for the U-19 level, at which the FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship was originally played. [1] [2]
The current incarnation of U-16s was re-instituted in February 2015 under coach Tricia Taliaferro. [3] [4] The team competed in the first women's edition of the Tournament of Nations (Torneo delle Nazioni) in Gradisca d'Isonzo, Italy, in April 2016. This tournament included the first-ever women's soccer game between the United States and Iran at any level, a 6–0 win for the United States with a hat trick from Summer Yates. [5] [6] [7] Patchy Toledo became the head coach of the U-16s in August 2022. [8]
24 players were called up for the January 2025 training camp. [9]
