CHICAGO (Sept. 11, 2023) – U.S. Power Soccer National Team head coach Tracy Mayer has named his final eight-player roster for the 2023 FIPFA Powerchair Football World Cup to take place Oct. 15-21 at the Quaycentre at Sydney Olympic Park in Sydney, Australia. Champions in 2007 and 2011, the world-second ranked U.S. side heads to Australia looking to claim its record third Powerchair Football World Cup title after finishing as runner-up to France at the 2017 edition in Kissimmee, Fla.

U.S. Power Soccer National Team members Jordan Dickey, Natalie Dickey, Zach Dickey, Alexis Heer, Riley Johnson, Nathan Mayer and Pete Winslow will meet with the U.S. Men’s National Team on Monday morning, prior to the team’s training session at Allianz Field in St. Paul, Minn. As the Federation continues to celebrate soccer in all of its forms, U.S. Soccer will also recognize the World Cup squad prior to kickoff of the USMNT’s friendly against Oman on Tuesday, Sept. 12 at Allianz Field. (Coverage begins at 8 p.m. ET on TNT, Universo and Peacock).

“I'm very excited for this group to represent the United States at the Powerchair Football World Cup,” said U.S. Power Soccer National Team head coach Tracy Mayer, who will also be Allianz Field with the players next week. “We’re fortunate to have a diverse and talented pool of athletes to choose from in the United States and the experience, versatility and depth we have on this roster gives us a great opportunity as we go for another World Cup title in Australia.”

CHAMPIONSHIP EXPERIENCE

Six players have previous tournament experience, with three contributing to the USA’s previous two World Cup wins. Natalie Dickey helped the USA claim the inaugural 2007 FIPFA World Cup in Tokyo Japan, while Jordan Dickey and Pete Winslow were on the 2011 World Cup squad that repeated as champion in Paris, France.

The Dickeys, along with Riley Johnson, Nathan Mayer and Peyton Sefick are the five returning players from the 2017 squad.   

Part of the program for a number of years, Alexis Heer and Zach Dickey are the two first-time World Cup selections and are set to make their international debuts at the 2023 World Cup.

2023 WORLD CUP SCHEDULE

One of 10 teams taking part in the 2023 edition, the USA face all nine opponents in a round-robin format, beginning with hosts Australia on October 15 at 1 p.m. AEDT (October 14 at 10 p.m. ET). At the end of the round-robin stage, the top four teams will advance to the semifinals, with the winners facing off in the final. All knockout round matches will be played on October 19 and 20 in Australia.
