CHICAGO (AP) — The U.S. women's national team will face Mexico in a pair of matches in Connecticut before the Tokyo Olympics.
The games will be played July 1 and July 5 at Pratt & Whitney Stadium in East Harford.
U.S. coach Vlatko Andonovski is expected to name his 18-player Olympic roster prior to those games.
“These are games to work on the final details, to once again give our players a chance to play with their position groups and areas on the field and to make sure our fitness is in the right place heading into our pre-Olympic training camp,” Andonovski said in a statement Wednesday.
The U.S. opens the Olympic tournament on July 21 with a match against Sweden in Tokyo.
