The USWNT is hitting the road, traveling to Brazil in June to play two friendlies against the 2027 World Cup host on its home soil.
The US opens the series at São Paulo’s Neo Química Arena on June 6th before closing out the break at Arena Castelão in Fortaleza on June 9th.
“I’m so pleased we were able to schedule these games," USWNT head coach Emma Hayes said. “We want to play the best teams in the most difficult environments at venues across the world as often as we can, and these two games check all those boxes.”
The USWNT has often sussed out major tournament locations via friendlies, visiting Canada ahead of the 2015 World Cup, France in early 2019, and New Zealand in early 2023.
The US has faced As Canarinhas six times in Brazil — most recently in a 2014 friendly series — while the two women’s soccer powerhouses last met in California, resulting in April 2025’s 1-1 friendly split.
“We need more games in which every fan in the stadium is cheering loudly against us, and I’m looking forward seeing how our team performs and grows in these adverse conditions,” Hayes continued.
