On Friday, April 5 at 12 pm ET, Zach Bigalke presented work from his dissertation in a session titled, “How the United States is Represented in Women’s Soccer Beyond the USWNT.”
Since the first FIFA Women’s World Cup in 1991, 109 American-born women have played for the U.S. Women’s National Team in the tournament. In that same time period, 110 American-born women played for other national teams at the World Cup. Zach discusses the phenomenon of the United States as a global exporter of women’s soccer talent and the impact that has on both national narratives and the individuals who make these choices.
