Current Bruins Jessie Fleming and Teagan Micah will represent Canada and Australia, respectively. The U.S. squad has three former UCLA players in Abby Dahlkemper (2011-14), Sam Mewis (2011-14) and Mal Pugh (2017), and New Zealand boasts three-time World Cup player Rosie White (2011-14). Additionally, two former UCLA head coaches are on the U.S. staff - head coach Jill Ellis and Director of Talent ID B.J. Snow. Additionally, former Bruin goalkeeper coach Aline Reis is a goalkeeper on the Brazilian side.

Fleming, a junior midfielder from London, Ontario, Canada, is a three-year Bruin starter and two-time All-American. The 2017 MAC Hermann Trophy finalist has totaled 22 goals, 18 assists and 62 points in her career at UCLA.

Fleming will be playing in her second World Cup. She has made 65 appearances for the Canadian National Team, starting 53 games and scoring eight goals with four assists.

In 2017, she led the nation in goalkeeper minutes played with 2268 and helped UCLA advance to the NCAA Championship game by making a save in the penalty kick shootout in the NCAA semifinals. As a freshman, she earned Top Drawer Soccer Freshman Best XI first team honors, playing every minute of every game. She has earned Pac-12 Goalkeeper of the Week honors six times. Micah earned her first full national team call-up in August of 2017 and had a second call-up this past April.

Dahlkemper, Mewis and White were key figures in UCLA's first-ever NCAA Women's Soccer Championship in 2013. Dahlkemper became UCLA's first-ever Honda Award winner for soccer in 2013 and was the 2014 Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year. She is also one of just two Bruins ever to earn four NSCAA All-America honors. A member of the U.S. Women's National Team since 2016, Dahlkemper has compiled 37 caps and will be making her World Cup debut.

Mewis won the Honda Award in 2014 and was also named the espnW National Player of the Year and Pac-12 Player of the Year. She led the conference in scoring her senior season with 16 goals, 13 assists and 45 points. Mewis earned her first U.S. women's National Team cap in 2014 and has totaled 47 caps and nine goals. She was an alternate for the 2016 Olympic team and will also be making her World Cup debut.

White scored the deciding penalty kick in the 2013 NCAA semifinals to get UCLA to the championship. In 2014, she put up career-best numbers with seven goals, six assists and 20 points, ranking third on the team in goals scored. Dahlkemper and Mewis are making their World Cup debuts. White, who earned her 100th career cap on May 16, will be playing in her third World Cup.

Pugh enrolled at UCLA in Winter 2017 and played for the Bruins in three spring games before turning pro. She made her U.S. Women's National Team debut in 2016 when she was just 17 years old and became the sixth-youngest goal scorer in U.S. history when she scored in her debut game. She played in three games at the 2016 Olympics and became the youngest American to play and score in the Olympic Games. At age 21, she already has 50 caps and 15 goals.

Ellis coached at UCLA from 1999-2010 and is the winningest coach in UCLA women's soccer history with a 229-45-14 record over 12 seasons. She led the Bruins to eight College Cups, including seven in a row from 2003-09, and her teams advanced to at least the Round of 16 every year she coached. Ellis' Bruins won seven Pac-10 titles, including six-straight from 2003-08, and she was the 2000 NSCAA National Coach of the Year in 2000 and the 2003 and 2007 Pac-10 Coach of the Year. In 2015, she led Team USA to the World Cup title and was named the FIFA World Coach of the Year for Women's Football. 

Snow succeeded Ellis as head coach at UCLA, guiding the Bruins from 2011-12 and compiling a 34-4-6 record. In his first year as head coach, Snow coached UCLA to a 16-1-4 record and NCAA second round berth. In 2012, he led UCLA to the NCAA Quarterfinals. Snow had served as an assistant coach under Ellis from 2006-10 and was also on Ellis' staff at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup.

Reis was UCLA's goalkeeper coach from 2013-16 and helped lead UCLA to the NCAA title in 2013. She coached Micah in 2016 and also mentored NCAA all-time shutout leader Katelyn Rowland from 2013-14. Reis was a four-year starter at Central Florida under current UCLA head coach Amanda Cromwell and was recently inducted into the UCF Athletic Hall of Fame. She earned her first cap with a shutout against South Africa at the 2016 Olympics and will be playing in her first World Cup.
