The United States women's national beach soccer team represents the United States in international beach soccer competitions. It is controlled by the United States Soccer Federation (USSF), the governing body for soccer in the United States.

The program was officially launched in 2019 and has been steadily developing through domestic training camps, international friendlies, and regional CONCACAF competitions.

History

The United States women's national beach soccer team was established in 2019 as part of the USSF's effort to grow the women's game in beach soccer, following the success of the men's program. The team made its international debut in 2019 and has since participated in various BSWW-sanctioned events, friendlies, and CONCACAF regional qualifiers and tournaments.

The program saw increased activity starting in 2022–2023, with regular domestic training camps held in locations such as Chula Vista, California, and other coastal venues. In 2023, the team recorded its most successful calendar year to date with a 6–3 record in international matches.[3]

The team continues to focus on player development, with many participants coming from backgrounds in outdoor soccer, futsal, and collegiate programs.
