“The work never stops and every game we play has meaning,” said U.S. head coach Vlatko Andonovski in a press release. “These games are important to welcome back our Olympic Team to play in front of our home fans, but they are also the first steps towards 2023 World Cup qualifying. We all know we have to be at the top of our game to win at the highest levels and the dedication of the entire group to that pursuit will never change.”
This will be the fifth time the U.S. women’s national team has played in Cincinnati. It will be one of the final games for Carli Lloyd, who will retire following four friendlies in September and October. She’s the fourth-leading scorer in the history of the women’s national team.
The U.S. women won the bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics and are the reigning World Cup champions. The team features Cincinnati native Rose Lavelle.
The U.S. men’s national soccer team will play a World Cup qualifier against Mexico at TQL Stadium, the home of FC Cincinnati, on Nov. 12.
