The United States women's national soccer team (USWNT) is set to play Canada on July 2 in a friendly match at Audi Field, Washington, D.C. This game is part of a three-match window that includes games against the Republic of Ireland. Head coach Emma Hayes emphasizes the significance of playing against strong teams to facilitate player growth and preparation for upcoming World Cup qualifiers. Historically, Canada is the most frequent opponent of the USWNT, with their 67th meeting scheduled, highlighting a strong rivalry between the teams.
Canada is a top team and this match is worthy of the Allstate Continental Clásico, said USWNT head coach Emma Hayes.
We need to play teams that will push us and create an environment where our players have to solve problems and play under pressure, Hayes noted.
