The U.S. women’s national soccer team will finally make its Audi Field debut Sept. 6 for a friendly against Nigeria, organizers confirmed this week.
The U.S. Soccer Federation and stadium officials had engaged in negotiations several times in recent years to bring the top-ranked U.S. squad to the 20,000-capacity stadium, which opened in July 2018.
The most recent time the Americans played in the District was March 2017 at RFK Stadium for a 3-0 defeat to France in the SheBelieves Cup. Audi Field, home to MLS’s D.C. United and the NWSL’s Washington Spirit, hosted two U.S. men’s matches in 2019.
