USWNT vs. Canada Set for July 2 in D.C.

The United States women's national soccer team (USWNT) will host Canada in a friendly match on July 2 at Audi Field in Washington, D.C., concluding a three-match window that also includes games against Ireland on June 26 and June 29. This will be the 67th meeting between the rivals, with the USWNT historically dominant at 53 wins, 4 losses, and 9 draws. The event marks the team's return to D.C. after their 2024 Olympic gold victory, with improved field conditions expected. This match is notable as it will be the first against Canada since Casey Stoney took over as head coach following a scandal involving the Canadian team. USWNT head coach Emma Hayes emphasizes the importance of these matches for roster assessment and preparation for future competitions. Tickets for the match go on sale April 4, with support from Washington Spirit's owner, Y. Michele Kang, who pledged significant funding to women's soccer programs.
