Coach Jill Ellis has called 24 women into training ahead of April friendlies in Colorado and Los Angeles, part of a final push toward this summer’s Women’s World Cup.

In the first game, April 4 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in suburban Denver, the U.S. will face Australia, a World Cup favorite ranked sixth in the world by FIFA. The second game, April 7 against Belgium, will be the national team’s first at Banc of California Stadium and will mark a homecoming for forwards Alex Morgan and Christen Press as well as midfielder McCall Zerboni .Zerboni also played at UCLA, as did defender Abby Dalhkemper and midfielder Samantha Mewis.

Morgan and Press were on the American team that won the last World Cup four years ago in Canada, and Morgan enters April needing just one goal to become the seventh U.S. player to reach 100 for her career. For defender Ali Krieger, a two-time World Cup player, Thursday’s call-up is her first since April 2017. Missing, however, is veteran defender Kelley O’Hara, who is nursing an ankle injury. Back from injury is midfielder Lindsey Horan, who missed the 2019 SheBelieves Cup because of a quadriceps issue. The U.S. won one of three games in that tournament and is 2-1-2 this year after going unbeaten in 2018.

The team will gather in Santa Barbara next week for a six-day training camp. It will be the first training camp for the U.S. women in Santa Barbara since 1991, when the team trained there for several weeks before departing for China and the first Women's World Cup, which the Americans won.Following the April 7 game, the women will get a short break before a three-game sendoff series that begins May 12 in Santa Clara against South Africa.

Tickets for the U.S.-Belgium match in Los Angeles and the U.S.-South Africa match in Santa Clara are on sale through
