The WNT ended their 2-week training camp on Monday, June 2. Head coach Pia Sundhage has chosen a 22-player roster that will travel to Seoul, South Korea next weekend. This was the final chance for some players to make an impact on the coaching staff, and have a chance to play at the Olympics, as 18 players will be chosen from the Peace Queen Cup roster.

Group A is made up of South Korea, New Zealand, Canada, and Argentina. Group B includes USA, Italy, Brazil, and Australia.

The US will play Australia on June 15, Brazil on June 17, and Italy on June 19.

The championship game will be played on June 21 between the first-place teams of each group.

Pia Sundhage chose a roster made up of 3 goalkeepers, defenders, 8 midfielder, and 4 forwards.

Goalkeepers: Hope Solo, Nicole Barnhart, Briana Scurry

Defenders: Christie Rampone, Kate Markgraf, Cat Whitehill, Heather Mitts, Lori Chalupny, Rachel Buehler

Midfielders: Aly Wagner, Angela Hucles, Shannon Boxx, Carli Lloyd, Heather O'Reilly, Lindsay Tarpley, Tobin Heath, Kacey White
