President Joe Biden, Taylor Swift and Megan Thee Stallion were among a star-studded cast of names to announce the United States’ Women’s World Cup squad as the defending champions revealed the 23 players who will look to win a third tournament in a row this summer. Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe will be making their fourth appearance at the World Cup after being included in head coach Vlatko Andonovski’s squad, while key players such as Crystal Dunn, Julie Ertz, Lindsey Horan and Rose Lavelle also return from their group that won the US’s fourth World Cup in France four years ago. But the US saved their biggest surprise for their announcement video, with President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden featuring alongside some of the biggest names from sports and entertainment, including Blake Lively, Shaquille O’Neal and Lil Wayne. “From lifting trophies to fighting for gender equity, these women have been a source of inspiration for Americans of all ages,” President Biden said in the opening of the eight-minute video. While Morgan, 33, and Rapinoe, 37, bring plenty of tournament-winning experience to the US side, Andonovski’s squad features 14 players who will be appearing at the World Cup for the first time. Among them are 18-year-old Alyssa Thompson and 22-year-old Trinity Rodman, while the uncapped Savannah DeMelo is also included in the squad. The US will be without the experienced captain Becky Sauerbrunn due to injury, as well as star forward Mallory Swanson. The United States are four-time winners of the World Cup and remain favourites ahead of this summer’s tournament in Australia and New Zealand. The defending champions face the Netherlands, who they defeated in the 2019 final, Portugal and Vietnam in Group E.
