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.”

Naeher ranks third in the USWNT’s all-time list for goalkeeper caps, behind Hope Solo and Briana Scurry.

She signed a new contract with the Chicago Red Stars for the 2025 NWSL season in September, which will mark her 10th year with the club.
