The U.S. women’s national team (UWSNT) will play friendlies in Minneapolis and Denver this June, with new coach Emma Hayes making her debut.
Pierre Noujaim of FOX9 was the first to report that the USWNT will return to Minneapolis, with a friendly against Korea Republic on June 4. The last time the team played at Allianz Field was in 2021.
That game was also against Korea Republic, and resulted in a 6-0 win for the USWNT.
The team will also play an earlier match on June 1 in Colorado. Both matches will mark the first for Emma Hayes on the USWNT bench.
Hayes is set to depart Chelsea upon the conclusion of the team’s season. The latest that could be is May 25, when the Champions League final is set to take place. Of course, it could be earlier, but the team made the semifinals of last year’s Champions League before losing to Barcelona. They also made the final in 2020-21, and have made at least the semifinals in four of the last five seasons.
Already, the team has qualified for the quarterfinals, which they’ll play against Dutch club Ajax. Those matches will take place on March 19 and 27.
Should Chelsea not advance in the UWCL, their last WSL match is May 18 against Manchester United.
The team is set to play the SheBelieves Cup in April, as well as two more friendlies…
