With the 2025 Euro looming, Emslie and Henry both have qualifying matches with Scotland and France, respectively. Scotland will play Serbia on April 5 and Slovakia on April 9, while Les Bleues face Ireland and then Sweden on the same dates.

Phair will represent South Korea in two friendlies against the Philippines, on April 5 and 8. 

Riley's Football Ferns have two friendlies against Thailand, the first on April 5 and the second on the 9th.

Finally, Rodríguez joins Costa Rica for two friendlies against Peru, one this Saturday, April 6, at 2:00 p.m. Pacific time in Alajuela, Costa Rica. The two teams will meet a second time behind closed doors on April 9.

The NWSL returns to play the weekend after the international break closes. Angel City plays next on Saturday, April 13 at 6:30 p.m. Pacific, on the road against Chicago.
