DALLAS — Former Dallas Trinity FC midfielder Samantha Meza has been called up to the United States women’s national team (USWNT) for June and July friendly matches, the team announced this week.
The call-up marks Meza’s first time reporting for the USWNT senior roster, and the first Dallas Trinity FC current or former player to be called into camp. Meza is one of six midfielders on the roster in this training window. Meza, a Dallas native, was drafted by the Seattle Reign in the 2024 NWSL Draft, but played for Dallas Trinity FC on loan in the first half of the inaugural USL Super League season.
Meza returned to Seattle and made her NWSL debut on March 15 against against Gotham FC, coming on as a stoppage-time substitute. Meza became a regular starter and, according to her Reign teammate Lynn Biyendolo, became the “engine of [the Reign] midfield.”
Meza grew up in Balch Springs and played club soccer for Solar Soccer Club. She played collegiately for the University of North Carolina and was a four-year starter.
The USWNT will play against Ireland twice – on June 25 and 29 – and versus Canada on July 2.
