Sophia Wilson and Tierna Davidson have rejoined the United States women's national team for the upcoming series against Japan, marking significant returns after significant absences. Wilson, who last played for the US in late 2024, returns following maternity leave and the birth of her first child, while Davidson, returning after missing the 2025 NWSL season due to an ACL injury, rejoins with 67 caps and World Cup experience. Their returns come as the USWNT prepares for three matches against the Nadeshiko, who won the 2026 AFC Women's Asian Cup with a dominant 29-1 tournament goal tally.

This series, starting in San Jose on April 11th, presents a crucial test for the evolving US team under Emma Hayes, especially given the rapid succession of games against a top-tier opponent.
