Coach Kacey White  has named a 20-player U.S. U-16 girls national team squad for a Sept. 6-15 training camp in Germany that will include two games. White's team will play Germany’s U-16s twice, Sept. 12 and 14.

Of the 20 players, 17 were born in 2002, two in 2003 and one in 2004. They are all age-eligible for the 2018 U-17 Women’s World Cup, which is for players born in 2001 or later. But this group’s main aim is to become the core the team that will attempt to qualify for 2022 U-20 Women’s World Cup.
