Donegal native Kate Keaney with the Gold Cup
Donegal’s Kate Keaney was a part of the backroom staff for the USA women’s national team that won the first Women’s Gold Cup in history, with the side beating Brazil 1-0 at Snapdragon Stadium in front of a near sellout crowd of 31,528 fans.
Keaney, who is also a former Donegal footballer, is a senior sports scientist with the US Soccer Federation based out of Chicago Illinois, having previously worked with the IRFU and the FAI, following her Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Limerick back in 2016.
US captain Lindsey Horan scored the lone goal of the match with a brilliant back-post header just moments before half-time.
It was far from a vintage performance from the US, which is undergoing somewhat of a rebuild after last year’s World Cup disappointment, but it did just enough to keep Brazil out during a tight final.
