Mia Fishel, the talented forward with Bermudian roots, has been selected for the United States Under-23 Women's National Team ahead of an upcoming training camp and a pair of international fixtures against the Dominican Republic.
The 24-player roster, announced by head coach Heather Dyche, is composed exclusively of players currently plying their trade in the National Women's Soccer League. The group will assemble at the Arthur M. Blank U.S. Soccer National Training Center, where they will prepare for the two-match series against the Caribbean side.
Fishel's inclusion continues a proud family connection to football. She is the daughter of former Bermuda international Andrew Fishel and the niece of Shaun Goater, the legendary Bermudian striker who enjoyed a celebrated career in English football, most notably with Manchester City. While eligible to represent Bermuda through her heritage, Fishel has pursued her international ambitions within the highly competitive United States system, having previously featured for American youth national teams.
The camp represents another significant step in the young attacker's development as she looks to push toward senior national team consideration. The Under-23 programme serves as a key bridge between youth football and the full US Women's National Team, one of the most successful sides in the history of the women's game.
Football followers in Bermuda will be watching her progress with keen interest, as the island continues to produce players making their mark on the international stage. The matches against the Dominican Republic will offer Fishel a valuable opportunity to impress the national team coaching staff and further her case for future selection at higher levels of the programme.
