The match, against an opponent to be determined, would be part of a post-World Cup tour by the Americans.
Alex Morgan, right, and the U.S. national team will play an unspecified number of matches around the country this fall. By Steven Goff Steven Goff Reporter covering soccer , plus some college basketball. Email Bio Follow May 20 at 3:52 PM The U.S. Soccer Federation and D.C. United are in talks about arranging a U.S. women’s national soccer team friendly at Audi Field in November, multiple people familiar with the discussions said Monday.
The top-ranked Americans last played in Washington in March 2017, a 3-0 defeat to France on the final day of the SheBelieves Cup at RFK Stadium. United and Ligue de Football Professionnel, which oversees the French men’s pro leagues, have signed a three-year contract, though both sides carry the option of opting out if the event does not generate satisfactory interest. The visiting teams are expected to change each year.The purpose of the French visit is clear: Ligue 1 needs to make up a lot of ground on European leagues that have built a strong foundation of support in the U.S. market.
For this tournament, stadium officials plan to improvise by utilizing ample space in the back of the house. In one scenario, a team involved in the second game would use one of the large, unused rooms before the match and access one of the vacated locker rooms afterward.
