The United States Women’s National Team (USWNT) is set to face Canada in Washington, DC, in what promises to be an exciting finale to their summer series. After achieving two convincing 4-0 victories against Ireland in their previous friendlies, the USWNT now encounters a formidable opponent in Canada, who ranks as the eighth-best team globally. Canada is coming off a strong performance as well, having defeated Costa Rica 4-1.
Throughout this international window, the USWNT has showcased emerging talents, allowing new players to step into the spotlight and seize their opportunities. The last encounters between these two teams were thrilling, with both matches in March and April 2024 ending in 2-2 draws decided by penalties.
