USWNT Star Emily Fox Embracing Excitement of Arsenal Ambitions Amid a Season of Growth for the National Team.
With her 68th appearance for the US Women's National Team (USWNT), right-back Emily Fox has proven to be a steadfast presence on the field, playing an integral role in Emma Hayes' evolving squad. The 27-year-old Fox credits Hayes with fostering a culture of growth and learning within the team, where every camp is an opportunity to refine their tactics and adapt to new opponents.
Fox, who made the move to London nearly two years ago to experience the Premier League and Champions League firsthand, has been instrumental in helping the USWNT integrate new players into the fold. Her speed and skill on the field have become essential components of Hayes' defensive strategy, while also contributing to their attack.
As Fox reflects on 2025 with the USWNT, she describes it as a "part of the process." While the team experienced three losses in calendar year, including a defeat against Portugal for the first time, Fox emphasizes that context is key. The loss was not solely due to the team's performance but also because they had been away from each other for an extended period.
Fox acknowledges that her own experience playing in the Champions League with Arsenal has helped broaden her perspective and confidence on the field. "I feel like it added a whole other depth to me," she says of her time in Europe. The experience, which saw her win the Champions League title last season, instilled in her a sense of resilience and determination that she now applies to her work with the USWNT.
As Hayes looks towards the 2027 World Cup, Fox is confident that the team has made significant strides in recent months. With a growing pool of talented players emerging from the younger generation, Fox notes an increased level of excitement within the team. "With the game and with our national team there's just this buzz of excitement," she says. "I feel like with younger players, they want to see their opportunities...they want to make the most of it."
The USWNT will face a tough test against Chelsea on Saturday in the Women's Super League, but Fox remains optimistic about the team's prospects. With her own ambitions for success at Arsenal now underway, Fox is eager to turn things around and make a statement with her new club.
Fox's story serves as a reminder that growth and development are ongoing processes within any organization. For the USWNT, it has been a season of evolution under Hayes' leadership, where every loss provides an opportunity for learning and improvement. As Fox navigates her own career journey in Europe and the Premier League, she embodies the spirit of resilience, determination, and excitement that defines this remarkable team.

Fox is on fire right now 
. She's been doing so well with Arsenal and it's like she's brought that same energy to the USWNT. I love how she mentions her time in Europe has added a whole new level of depth to her game. It's clear she's got big ambitions not just for herself, but for the team too 
. And can we talk about how much better the squad looks now? All these young players coming up are giving me life 
. Bring on the World Cup in 2027 and I'm all in 
. It's great to see her learning from playing in the Champions League, it's like a whole new level of football 
. Fox is doing an amazing job adapting to Hayes' system and bringing out the best in herself and the team 
. Now let's see how they'll perform against Chelsea on Saturday, but with Fox on board, I'm feeling confident about their chances 
️!
And can we talk about how she's helping bring a younger generation into the team? That's what I call growth, fam 
. The USWNT is definitely on the rise with Fox at the helm, and I'm hyped to see what the future holds for this squad 
but i gotta wonder if the team's 3 losses were actually a blessing in disguise 
. like, they had a break from each other and now they're all coming back stronger 
. The fact that she's now excited about the future of the USWNT, especially with all these young talented players coming up, is super inspiring 
. And let's be real, who wouldn't want to see a win against Chelsea in the WSL? 
Go Fox and go USWNT! 
i love how she's embracing this "part of the process" mindset, 'cause let's be real, life's all about progress not perfection 
I'm low-key loving Emily Fox's vibe right now. She's got a fire in her belly to succeed both with Arsenal and the USWNT, and it's infectious! 
it's so inspiring to see fox and the rest of the uswnt squad thrive under emma hayes' leadership 
. can't wait to see what the future holds for them! 
She's killing it with the USWNT and now she's making waves at Arsenal too! 
. The fact that she's bringing that same growth mindset to the USWNT is everything 
. We're gonna see some major wins coming from these ladies in 2027, mark my words 
. And I love how she emphasizes that context is key when it comes to those losses - it's not just about the team's performance, but also how they're feeling as a group after time apart 
. I'm curious to see how this all plays out for Fox and the USWNT, especially with the World Cup on the horizon 
.
. And let's be real, 68 appearances doesn't exactly scream "steady presence" 
... seems like they've had their fair share of ups and downs over the years 
. Still, I suppose it's cool that Fox is embracing her new role and all the excitement that comes with it 
... just hope she doesn't get too caught up in the hype 
.
. She's got a great attitude about it, and I think that's what sets her apart – she's not just focused on individual success, but on helping the team grow and improve together
