After failing to win the SheBelieves Cup on home soil earlier this year, the United States women look for redemption as they contest the first of two friendlies against Brazil at SoFi Stadium in California on Saturday.
Defeat to Japan by a 2-1 score in the final match of the competition saw the Asian side lift the trophy while the U.S. failed to win its own tournament for the first time in the last six tries. It was far from a devastating blow, but it certainly proved embarrassing, especially in the wake of a gold medal at the 2024 Summer Olympics saw the USWNT return to the top of the world rankings.
The U.S. are still missing a few key stars, such as Naomi Girma, Sophia Smith, and Mallory Swanson, while Emma Hayes must also effort to build the squad towards the next World Cup cycle.
Brazil, meanwhile, are also in transition as they recover from the retirement of a host of key squad members last summer. The South American side topped Australia in a pair of friendlies last November, but slipped to eighth in the world rankings after they were not active in the February international break.
