Women's youth[]

News[]

  • 27 April – The U.S. NCAA tabled (placed on hold) a proposal passed in March by its soccer rules committee, which governs both men's and women's play, that would have called for the NCAA to adopt FIFA rules regarding timekeeping, with the official time being kept on the field by the referee and stadium clocks counting up instead of down. This means that the existing timekeeping system, with the official time being maintained by a visible, downward-counting clock, will remain in place.[5]

Fixed dates for national team matches[]

Scheduled international matches per their International Match Calendar. Also known as FIFA International Day/Date(s).[6]
