Naeher will conclude her international career following the United States’ upcoming matches against England on November 30 and the Netherlands on December 3.
“Having the opportunity to be a part of the USWNT [US women’s national team] for the past 15 years has been the greatest honour,” said Naeher.
“This has been a special team to be a part of and I am beyond proud of what we have achieved both on and off the field. The memories I have made over the years will last me a lifetime.
“I know one chapter is ending, but I am so excited to continue to see the growth of this team going forward and what more they can accomplish.”
