Emma Hayes has wasted no time in reshaping the USWNT, launching a U23 squad, orchestrating an unprecedented month-long January camp, and earning early plaudits for her proactive approach. But the challenges ahead are immense. Global powerhouses like Spain, Germany, and England are evolving rapidly, and the U.S. must adapt or risk falling behind. In Part 2 of our conversation with Julie Foudy and Lori Lindsey, we break down the significance of the SheBelieves Cup, analyze Hayes’ early moves, and explore the structural shifts needed to sustain U.S. dominance in an increasingly competitive global game.
