The end of February will be an interesting training window for Seattle Reign players and staff, as they will be without up to 10 players during the first FIFA international window of the year, which runs from Feb. 24 to March 7.
Three Reign players were named to the U.S. women's national team squad for the SheBelieves Cup, a weeklong tournament featuring the U.S., Canada, Colombia, and Argentina. Jordyn Bugg, Maddie Dahlien and Claudia Dickey, who recently represented the USWNT in a pair of friendlies during the January camp, are set to compete in the tournament for the first time.
Bugg, 19, debuted with the senior team in June 2025 and has since made six appearances. She is one of two teenagers named to the SheBelieves Cup roster, joining Lily Yohannes. Following her first senior national team call-up in January, Dahlien has earned another opportunity with the USWNT. Dickey first joined the USWNT in 2025 and now has seven caps and six clean sheets.
While Canada's SheBelieves Cup roster has not yet been announced, Jordyn Huitema is expected to join the team for the tournament. The 24-year-old forward has 94 national team caps, 23 goals, and 7 assists.
Four players will also join U.S. youth national teams for camps during this FIFA window. Emeri Adames, Sofia Cedeño and Ainsley McCammon have been called into the U-20 camp, which runs Feb. through March 3 in Chula Vista, California. While no matches are scheduled during this window, the squad is preparing for the 2026 U-20 Women’s World Cup, which will take place in September. Adames featured in the 2024 U-20 World Cup, while McCammon was co-captain of the U-17 World Cup that same year; both teams earned Bronze medals. All three Reign players joining this U-20 camp are age-eligible for this year's tournament, and the U.S. has already qualified.
Rookie goalkeeper Evan O'Steen, 17, is one of just two goalkeepers traveling with the U.S. U-19 squad to Portugal from Feb. 21 to March 7 to play three friendly matches. The U.S. will take on youth squads from the Czech Republic, Wales, and Portugal.
While Wales hasn't announced the roster yet for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers, Angharad James-Turner is expected to join and captain the squad. Wales will travel to face the Czech Republic on March 3, then host Montenegro on March 7. Wales' all-time leading goal-scorer Jess Fishlock retired from international duty last year and will stay with the Reign.
Haiti captain Nérilia Mondésir should also join her national team for another Concacaf W qualifier. This tournament serves as the preliminary stage of the 2026 Concacaf W Championship, which determines the Concacaf qualifiers for the 2027 Women's World Cup. The six countries that finish first in their five-team groups will advance. Mondésir scored four goals in a 9-0 win over Belize in the opening round. Haiti will play Suriname on March 3.
All 10 players will be available for the Reign through the end of this week, including for the club's Coachella Valley match against Angel City on Saturday, Feb. 21. That preseason match kicks off at 1:30 p.m. PT and will air on FOX 13+. The Reign played a closed-door friendly against San Diego last Wednesday.
