As excitement builds leading up to the anticipated return of US Women’s National Team in April for World Cup 2027 preparations, their return is anticipated with great fervor. They’ve scheduled series of friendlies against Brazil as an integral step on this path towards glory – although details on Emma Hayes’ squad selection remain confidential for now; Alyssa Thompson recently shed some light on how involved she will be in this particular matchup.
Thompson shared details on her national team participation during an in-game discussion that took place following Angel City’s draw against Portland Thorns on CBS Sports Golazo platform after Angel City and Portland Thorns tied. Notable participants of this dialogue included Kate Abdo and Thierry Henry – she revealed with pride, when probed as to her knowledge of team roster for future match, that “I do know and I am going.”
This revelation was quickly followed by an official video from US Soccer, with Thompson inviting fans to secure their tickets for the first friendly match at SoFi Stadium scheduled for April 5, a Saturday. In her message, Thompson expressed, “Hi, I’m Alyssa Thompson. I’m at SoFi Stadium right now. We play here on April 5 against Brazil. So go buy your tickets,” thereby confirming her participation and stirring excitement among fans.
As news of Thompson’s inclusion has raised anticipation for the full roster announcement and set up what promises to be an electrifying match at SoFi Stadium, this development serves as a testament to her talent within USWNT ranks and highlights her bright future ahead.
