U.S. coach Pia Sundhage will use the same 23-player roster for upcoming exhibition games in Japan that she took to the Algarve Cup.
The Americans play world champion Japan on April 1 at Sendai, then play Brazil two days later at Chiba.
At the Algarve Cup in Portugal, Japan beat the U.S. 1-0 in the semifinals - repeating its victory in last year's World Cup final. The U.S. then beat Sweden in the third-place match.
Sundhage will pick 18 players later this year for the American to defend their Olympic title.
The roster announced Wednesday:
Goalkeepers: Nicole Barnhart, Ashlyn Harris, Hope Solo
Defenders: Rachel Buehler, Stephanie Cox, Whitney Engen, Meghan Klingenberg, Amy LePeilbet, Heather Mitts, Kelley O'Hara, Christie Rampone, Becky Sauerbrunn
Midfielders: Shannon Boxx, Tobin Heath, Lori Lindsey, Carli Lloyd, Heather O'Reilly, Megan Rapinoe, Amy Rodriguez
Forwards: Lauren Cheney, Sydney Leroux, Alex Morgan, Abby Wambach
