U.S. Women's Deaf National Team
Since beginning play in 2005, the U.S. Women’s Deaf National Team holds a 37-0-1 all-time record, claiming three DIFA World Deaf Football Championships (2012, 2016, 2023) and four Deaflympics (2005, 2009, 2013, 2022). The Deaf WNT officially joined U.S. Soccer's Extended National Team program in 2022.
