Gotham FC’s Players Called Up for International Friendlies

HARRISON, N.J.(Wednesday, September 13, 2023) – NJ/NY Gotham FC today confirmed that three of the club’s players have been called up to participate in international friendly matches for their respective countries. Defender Kelley O’Hara and forward Lynn Williams were named to the U.S Women’s National Team (USWNT) roster in addition to Gotham FC defender Bruninha earning the call-up from Brazil.

O’Hara and Williams will join the USWNT for its September training camp as well as a pair of friendlies in Cincinnati and Chicago. Over the 2023 NWSL season, O’Hara has appeared in 12 matches for the club, and her 79 appearances recently moved her up to third all-time in Gotham FChistory.
