ATLANTA (SMU) – SMU women's soccer midfielder Brooke Bunton was named to the U.S. U-18 Women's National Team roster for an international training camp, as the team will travel to Bulgaria, participate in the Bulgarian Nations Cup - 2026.

The training camp will be held from June 1-10 as Team USA will play two older teams, taking on the U-20 WNT of Benin, which is the first-ever meeting with the Central African country for a U.S. Women's National Team, while also facing the Ukraine U-19 WNT.

The matches will take place on June 6 vs. Ukraine and June 9 vs. Benin in southwest Bulgaria. The winner of the round-robin competition will be determined on total points, with three for a win and zero for a loss.

This will mark Bunton's third call-up to the U.S. U-18 team this spring and the fourth of her career. The midfielder's last call-up was to participate in the U.S. U-18 Women's National Team training camp in West Palm Beach, Florida, on April 10-17.

Bunton also helped the U.S. U-18 team win the Pinatar Cup 2026 earlier this spring as she played in two international matches in Spain, in which the U.S. beat the Sweden U-18 WNT, 8-0, and the Hungary U-19 WNT, 6-0. Bunton was the team captain in the match against Sweden.

The roster features 20 players, all born in 2008 and will consist of nine college players, 10 youth club players and one NWSL player. Bunton is one of seven ACC women's soccer players to be named to the team's roster.
