The United States women's football team Will meet Brazil at the Sofi stadium in a friend in April which will be the first female professional sporting event in the four -year stadium. The match will also be a revenge match of the Olympic match of the team's gold medal last August in Paris.
The match will be part of a natural grass carpet system test that the stadium will use for the 2026 World CupWhen eight games are played in Sofi. The surface of the grass with artificial matrix of the place will be covered with grass for four games from the final of the Congacaf Nations League from March 20 to 23, then will remain in place for the American match-Brazil, which will be played on April 5.
The United States will again meet Brazil on April 8 at Paypal Park in San José. The Americans, who beat Brazil 1-0 in France to win their fifth Olympic title, are undefeated in 15 games under a new coach Emma Hayes.
“Playing the very first female professional match at the Sofi stadium is a great honor and a worthy of this team,” said Hayes in a statement. “We are looking forward to spending this trip to California, which produced so many players for the American national women's team and so many great moments in our history.”
Hayes and his team will start the new year in California, meeting for a training camp from January 15 to 21 at Dignity Health Sports Park. The camp will be held side by side with a “future” camp, essentially a team of stars of players from the emerging national youth team as well as some young NWSL players. Because the camp will not be held during an international break from FIFA, the best European players on the team will not participate.
