The U.S. women’s national team will face Wales on July 9 in its final game before the 2023 World Cup.
It will be the first game the team’s 23-player World Cup roster plays together, with its World Cup opener set for July 21 against Vietnam in Auckland, New Zealand.
The USWNT and Wales will meet at PayPal Park, home of the San Jose Earthquakes, in a game that kicks off at 4 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on TNT in English and Universo, Peacock and Telemundo in Spanish.
The USWNT has never faced Wales, which narrowly missed out on qualifying for the World Cup when it fell to Switzerland in a playoff.
“When the 2023 World Cup roster comes together for the first time in San Jose, it will signify a lot of hard work by coaches, players and staff over the past few years to get to that point, so we’re really looking forward to having an exciting, productive camp and playing one last match to fine tune some things before we leave for New Zealand,” said U.S. head coach Vlatko Andonovski.
“For everyone involved, the opportunity to be a part of a World Cup doesn’t come along very often so we are going to make sure to appreciate and take advantage of every moment we have together.”
The USWNT defeated Ireland 1-0 on Tuesday night in its penultimate game before the World Cup.
