History
The U-16 team initially had no international competition and was used to prepare players for the U-19 level, at which the FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship was originally played.[2][3]
The current incarnation of U-16s was re-instituted in February 2015 under coach Tricia Taliaferro.[4][5] The team competed in the first women's edition of the Tournament of Nations (Torneo delle Nazioni) in Gradisca d'Isonzo, Italy, in April 2016. This tournament included the first-ever women's soccer game between the United States and Iran at any level, a 6–0 win for the United States with a hat trick from Summer Yates.[6][7][8] Patchy Toledo became the head coach of the U-16s in August 2022.[9]
