USWNT Infographic DOC_45456
A collection of information about soccer players from New Jersey who have played for the U.S Women’s National Soccer team as of 3/2025.
This was made largely from my own curiosity. I grew up playing soccer in New Jersey and I still support Gotham FC (formerly Sky Blue). Tobin Heath grew up playing in the same recreational soccer system that I did, and I went to school with Alana Cook for a brief period of time (She played trumpet in the jazz band! And she was very good, of course). I brag to anyone and everyone about NJ’s export of soccer players, but had never looked up the exact statistics about that - until now.
As you might imagine, the data on Women’s Soccer in general is pretty slim. It’s gotten better in the past decade, but it’s difficult to find official information without collecting the data yourself. Which is what I ended up doing! I went through every soccer player that has played (even once) for the USWNT, figured out where each player was born and raised (a hard thing to determine, sometimes), and put it all in a Google Sheet. I gathered the numbers in this infographic myself based off of that information.
This was also shown as part of an exhibition at CCM. Though it’s designed to be 59.4” long and 11” high, the largest we could physically print was about 42”. You can see a pic of it mounted at the end.
If you have any questions about this infographic, or you want access to the google sheet, feel free to e-mail me! And if you want to look at more infographics re: the USWNT or the NWSL, I recently came across Alison Gale’s work (alisongale.com), and she has lots of them!
