USWNT lines up heavyweight Spain friendlies ahead of 2027 World Cup

The U.S. Women's National Team and Spain have agreed to play two friendly matches this fall, with games scheduled for October 10 at Audi Field in Washington and October 13 at Subaru Park in suburban Philadelphia. Spain, the reigning world champion and FIFA's No. 1-ranked team, will face the U.S., the defending Olympic gold medalist ranked second. Both matches serve as preparation for the 2027 Women's World Cup in Brazil, with Spain already qualified and the U.S. needing to defeat El Salvador at the Concacaf W Championship in November to secure their spot.
