In honor of the majority of clubs participating in the Coachella Valley Invitational in sunny Indio, California.
All For XI conducted countless interviews at the 2026 NWSL Media Day, but one question was truly on everyone’s minds…
What’s your dream vacation? To find out the answer, we asked the players.
Hear from Bay FC’s Jordan Silkowitz, Angel City FC’s Riley Tiernan, North Carolina Courage’s Manaka Matsukubo & Riley Jackson, Seattle Reign’s Emeri Adames, Utah Royals’ Paige Monaghan Cronin & Mina Tanaka, Racing Louisville’s Jordyn Bloomer, Chicago Stars’ Ivonne Chacón, and San Diego Wave’s Kennedy Wesley.
Bay FC GK Jordan Silkowitz: “I’ve always wanted to go to Italy. Except, I have two actually. Italy, I love the food I hear is incredible. But, I also want to go to the Philippines. I want to go swimming with whale sharks.”
NWSL Rookie of the Year Finalist/Angel City FC Forward Riley Tiernan: “I want to say Paris in the summer or Santorini, Greece is actually my number one. But, Paris or Hawaii.
NWSL Midfielder of the Year/North Carolina Courage’s Manaka Matsukubo: “I would love to see the real nature in Switzerland.”
NC Courage midfielder Riley Jackson: “I want to travel the world, so I don’t know. Probably Japan right now because Manaka and Shinomi are always talking about how amazing it is.
Seattle Reign forward Emeri Adames: “I’m going to actually a cabin on the base of the mountain, just really pretty with a nice hot tub – cozy.”
Utah Royals forward Mina Tanaka: “I want to go to Nice and Paris and Valencia in Italy.”
Racing Louisville GK Jordyn Bloomer: “My sister just took a vacation to Switzerland this summer, and that looked stunning. So, I might put that at the top of the list now.
Chicago Stars forward Ivonne Chacón: “Japan.”
Utah Royals captain Paige Monaghan Cronin: “I’ve never been to Hawaii and I need to go.”
San Diego Wave defender Kennedy Wesley: “I actually just went on my dream vacation, it was to go to Japan, so I checked that off. I guess my next destination is Greece.”
