When Alyssa Naeher announced her retirement from international soccer last year, the question immediately became: Who’s next in line for the No. 1 keeper spot? The U.S. Women’s National team have a long history of success in the keeper position, from Naeher’s 11-year career to the those who came before her, the iconic Hope Solo and Brianna Scurry, respectfully.
What Naeher established in the backline for the USWNT was that level of consistency, excellence, and very few goals conceded. USWNT head coach Emma Hayes has her work cut out for her as she evaluates the current goalkeeper pool and tries to narrow the group down to a few for the SheBelieves Cup in February.
In connection with the recent USWNT January camp, Hayes joined The INDIVISA Show for an exclusive interview to explain what it will take to earn that No. 1 goalkeeper spot. The full episode and Hayes’ complete interview will be available Monday on both INDIVISA and the INDIVISA YouTube channel.
