Giselle White Earns Spot on Argentina U20 Women’s World Cup Squad

Freshman forward balances college debut with international tournament preparation

Giselle White, a freshman forward for the University of Oregon, has earned a place on Argentina’s U20 women’s national team as the country prepares for the 2026 FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup in Poland.

The call‑up comes as the Argentine squad enters a training camp ahead of the tournament, using the weeks before the competition to fine‑tune tactics and chemistry.

World Cup set to begin in September

The tournament is scheduled to open on September 5, and Argentina’s coaching staff says the final roster will be trimmed later this month, giving the player a clear pathway to the global stage.

Back on the collegiate front, the Oregon women’s soccer team opens its season on Thursday at 7 p.m., hosting Portland State at Hillsboro Stadium in Hillsboro, Oregon.

White’s dual commitment highlights the growing overlap between elite international competition and university sport, as she balances training with the Ducks’ early‑season schedule.
