Multiple Members of the Chicago Stars FC Called for International Duty

Three members of Chicago Stars FC will be on international duty at the end of the month.

Chicago’s Julia Grosso, Ludmila and Jameese Joseph will be with Canada, Brazil and the USWNT U-23’s, respectively, during the upcoming window, which will begin after the Stars’ match this weekend.

Grosso and Canada will host Haiti on May 31 at Princess Auto Stadium in Winnipeg and will take them on again on June 3 at Stade Saputo in Montréal

Grosso finally scored her first goal with the Stars in their loss against the Washington Spirit earlier this month, but has repeatedly shown her quality on the pitch while with Canada.

Ludmila and Brazil will play two friendlies against Japan in Brazil.

Jameese Joseph, who has already been with the USWNT U-23 in 2025, is scheduled to face off against Germany’s U-23’s in two different “small stadiums outside of Stuttgart.”

Chicago Stars Natalia Kuikka is still out with an injury or she likely would’ve been with Finland during this window.

The Stars still have work to do before the window begins, as they’ll host the league-leading Kansas City Current this weekend.

*Article updated after Chicago Stars FC announced that Ludmila was joining Brazil for the upcoming window despite not being listed on Brazil's original roster.*
