SANTIAGO, Chile – U.S. Women’s National Team Head Coach David Passmore has announced the traveling roster for the 2025 FIH Hockey Nations Cup. Taking place February 23 to March 2 in Santiago, Chile, the third edition of this event offers top-level competition to the best-ranked teams not participating in the FIH Hockey Pro League and gives the winning team the option to be promoted to the FIH Hockey Pro League next season.
The competing roster for the Nations Cup is 18 athletes, with the remaining one acting as the traveling reserve. The final roster will be determined after travel and onsite training.
“The Nations Cup is an important event and will be very competitive as teams seek to gain FIH Pro League qualification,” added Passmore. “While we have chosen to rest a number of established players this has allowed us to continue to develop a bigger athlete pool and assess a number of younger players who were impressive in New Zealand.”
“The full group will not meet or train together before we leave for Chile, but we look forward to welcoming back Leah Crouse, Amanda Golini and Ashley Sessa who were rested for the New Zealand trip along with Jenny Rizzo, after her successful trip to play in the Hockey India League.”
