Aubrey Kingsbury, 31, is making her first World Cup appearance at the 2023 tournament. She currently plays for the Washington Spirit in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) and has been on its roster since 2018.
The Cincinnati native received her first call-up to the USWNT in 2019 and was named to the team again in 2021, but she didn't see any playing time at that point. Kingsbury made her USWNT debut in April 2022 in a match against Uzbekistan, where she became only the eighth player in USWNT history to keep a clean sheet in her first match, according to US Soccer. (A clean sheet means the other team didn't score any goals; the USWNT won the game 9-0.) Her debut also made her the fifth player to debut for the USWNT at age 30 or older and the oldest goalkeeper to earn a first cap (i.e. appearance for a senior national team) for the USWNT.
