USWNT announces two send-off friendlies vs Mexico ahead of Olympics

The games will be the first chance for the full Olympic roster to gather prior to departing for Japan

The U.S. women’s national team has announced it will play two friendlies against Mexico prior to departing for the Olympics in Japan.

The matches are scheduled for July 1 and July 5, both taking place at Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field in East Hartford, Connecticut.

U.S. head coach Vlatko Andonovski will have already named his 18-player roster for the Olympics prior to the two games, meaning they will be the first chance to see the full Olympic squad in action.
