The US Women’s National Team (USWNT) made history at the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup in France, and one of the standout players was Savannah DeMelo. DeMelo, a 21-year-old midfielder from Bellflower, California, made her debut for the USWNT in the tournament.
DeMelo was part of the USWNT squad that won the 2019 SheBelieves Cup, and she was also part of the team that won the 2018 CONCACAF Women’s Championship. She was called up to the USWNT for the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup and made her debut in the team’s opening match against Thailand. DeMelo played the full 90 minutes and helped the USWNT to a 13-0 victory.
DeMelo continued to be an important part of the USWNT throughout the tournament. She played in all seven matches, including the final against the Netherlands. DeMelo was a key contributor to the USWNT’s success, helping them to become the first team to win back-to-back Women’s World Cup titles.
DeMelo is a talented player who has worked hard to get to where she is today. She began her career with the California Storm Soccer Club before joining the University of Southern California women’s soccer team in 2015. After graduating from USC in 2018, she signed with the North Carolina Courage of the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL).
DeMelo has been praised for her technical ability and her ability to read the game. She is a versatile player who can play in any midfield position and is comfortable on both sides of the ball. Her performance at the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup has earned her a place in USWNT history and she will no doubt be an important part of the team for many years to come.
