USWNT Will Head to Brazil for a Pair of Matches in June

The two-game series will test younger players and help U.S. staff scout host cities and potential base camps for the 2027 tournament.

  • On June 6 and June 9, the United States women's national team will play two matches in Brazil at Neo Química Arena in São Paulo and Arena Castelão in Fortaleza ahead of the 2027 World Cup.
  • USWNT head coach Emma Hayes prioritized challenging venues to develop the team. "These two games check all those boxes," Hayes said, emphasizing the need for players to perform in adverse conditions.
  • The trip marks the sixth consecutive World Cup cycle where the Americans play in a host nation, though matches in Brazil remain rare—occurring just six times in 43 all-time meetings between the teams.
  • As part of the trip, the U-23 USWNT will also travel to Brazil to play against local professional clubs in what U.S. Soccer called a "unique occurrence" for the program.
  • Despite these preparations, the Americans must still qualify for the 2027 World Cup, facing a win-and-in quarterfinal against El Salvador on November 27 in the Concacaf W Championship.
