Pfeiffer, Bugg, and 9 Other NWSL Players Selected for USWNT U-20 April Roster

Vicky Jepson, the head coach of the U.S. Under-20 Women’s National Team, has selected 24 players for the April training camp in Kansas City, MO. During this camp, the team will face Brazil twice — once at CPKC Stadium on April 11, and again at Riverside Stadium on April 15. Both teams have secured spots for the 2026 U-20 World Cup scheduled in Poland this September.

The roster features 11 players from the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL). Jordyn Bugg, Sofia Cedeño, Ainsley McCammon, and Emeri Adames are with Seattle Reign FC, while Onyeka Gamero and Alex Pfeiffer play for Bay FC. Other NWSL players in the squad include Katie Scott (Kansas City Current), Kimmi Ascanio (San Diego Wave), Kennedy Fuller (Angel City FC), Linda Ullmark (Houston Dash), and Chloe Ricketts (Boston Legacy FC).

Pfeiffer has had a strong start to the 2026 NWSL season, scoring two goals in three matches for Bay FC.

Bugg, who has six caps for the senior USWNT, was called up for the SheBelieves Cup in February but had to leave early due to a hamstring injury. She has not played for Seattle this year and is unavailable according to the latest NWSL report.
