The call-ups represent another milestone for Texas Lone Star S.C. and its commitment to providing players with opportunities to compete at the higher levels of the game.

““One of the reasons we add identification to our national team training camps is to continue to identify possible new players to our player pool.  So we can combine preparing/developing our current player pool with looking at new players.  The players invited to Dallas camp, including the Texas Lone Star S.C. players, were absolutely great.  They are talented, eager to learn, and happy to be a part of what was a very competitive group.  Once we get through our training camp in Cincinnati, we will have some tough decisions to make for our final WMF World Cup roster,“ stated Craig Rhodes, Technical Director & U.S. Mini- Football coach.

Texas Lone Star S.C. Owner and President Pia Namdar praised the players for earning the opportunity.

“We were thrilled not only to have the opportunity to see our girls called up for the training camp, but also to see their hard work recognized,” Pia Namdar said. “Opportunities like this are earned, and we are extremely proud of the commitment they have shown to reach this level.”
