Claire Hutton on Leadership, Her Rapid Rise and Looking Ahead to Brazil

Claire Hutton joins Meghan Klingenberg on the U.S. Soccer Podcast presented by Henkel to talk about her rapid rise with the U.S. Women’s National Team, becoming one of the youngest players in recent history to wear the captain’s armband and what she’s learned from Emma Hayes and the veteran leaders around her. Hutton also shares what it’s been like experiencing the 2026 FIFA World Cup as a fan, how the tournament has inspired her own dreams of playing on the world’s biggest stage and why the USWNT’s recent trip to Brazil made the possibility of next summer’s World Cup feel even more real. Plus, Claire and Kling talk routines, leadership, life as a young professional and what Claire hopes her impact on the game will be when her career is ultimately over — before tackling the important questions in Red Card or Play On, including the 48-team World Cup and Erling Haaland’s now-famous taxidermy raccoon.
