U.S. women's national team stars Alex Morgan and Lindsey Horan are part of a star-studded FIFA technical advisory group that will be led by former two-time World Cup-winning coach Jill Ellis.
It was announced in September that Ellis, who left her role in charge of the U.S. in 2019, would take up this role with the governing body, looking to address the growth of the women's game.
Morgan and Horan are two of six current players on the list, which was announced on Monday, alongside Atletico Madrid's Deyna Castellanos, Barcelona striker Asisat Oshoala, Lyon captain Wendie Renard and New Zealand international Ali Riley.
As well as those currently playing stars, there are retired players, coaches, referees, administrators and sports scientists included in the group, from across all six confederations.
Desiree Ellis, Mark Parsons, Jorge Vilda, Pia Sundhage and Ricardo Rambo are the international coaches on the list, in charge of South Africa, the Netherlands, Spain, Brazil and Hong Kong respectively. Chelsea's Emma Hayes is the lone club coach on the list, though Parsons is still in club football with the Portland Thorns until the end of the current NWSL season too.
