USWNT Faces England at Wembley in Friendly Led by Emma Hayes' Homecoming
Olympic champions USA and European champions England clash in a sold-out Wembley match, marking Hayes' return to her hometown as USWNT head coach.
- Emma Hayes, former Chelsea manager and current USWNT head coach, returns to London for her first match in England since taking the U.S. role and winning Olympic gold earlier this year.
- The match will be played at Wembley Stadium in front of over 83,000 fans, showcasing the growing global interest in women's soccer.
- Both teams are missing key players due to injuries, including the USA's 'Triple Espresso' trio of Trinity Rodman, Sophia Smith, and Mallory Swanson, as well as England's Lauren Hemp, Lauren James, and Ella Toone.
- The game serves as a significant test for England ahead of their Euro 2025 title defense and provides the U.S. an opportunity to evaluate new talent under Hayes' leadership.
- Veteran goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher will play her penultimate match for the USWNT, having announced her retirement from international soccer earlier this week.
