Houston Dash defender Rachel Daly was named to the England Women’s National Team roster for a pair of upcoming FIFA Women’s World Cup Qualifying matches, the English Football Association announced earlier today.
England, currently ranked second in FIFA’s most recent world rankings, will face Wales on April 6 in Southampton and will travel to Bosnia and Herzegovina on April 10 as they look to qualify for their fourth consecutive Women’s World Cup.
Daly has earned nine caps for the Lionesses, including two appearances in the SheBelieves Cup earlier this year. She earned her first senior cap on June 4, 2014 against Serbia, scoring on her international debut in a 7-0 England victory.
Daly started at right back for the Dash in their 2018 NWSL season opener on Sunday afternoon, providing cover in defense and pushing into the attack along the right flank as the Dash drew Chicago 1-1 to kick off the season.
The Dash will continue their 2018 NWSL season on Friday night at BBVA Compass Stadium against Utah Royals FC at 7:00 p.m. CDT. Tickets for that match start at just $19 and are available online at HoustonDashSoccer.com, by phone at 713-276-GOAL or at the stadium box office. Season tickets are also available for the 2018 NWSL Season, starting at just $192. For additional information, visit HoustonDashSoccer.com/2018.
