USWNT to play No 1 ranked Spain in two October friendlies as 2027 World Cup approaches

• Matches will take place on 10 and 13 October

• Washington DC and Chester, Pennsylvania to host

The top two teams in women's soccer will meet in a pair of friendlies this fall, with the United States hosting Spain in Washington DC on 10 October and Chester, Pennsylvania three days later.

The meeting pits the 2024 Olympic gold medalist United States against a Spain side who won the 2023 women's World Cup. It will serve as a benchmark for both sides in the run-up to the 2027 World Cup in Brazil.
