The U.S. women’s national soccer team is close to a deal to play its final Olympic tuneup at Audi Field, people briefed on the negotiations said Wednesday.
The July 16 friendly — against an opponent that has not been finalized — would occur nine days before the Americans’ Olympic group-play opener against Morocco or Zambia. It also would serve as the second game of a send-off tour — the first is July 13 vs. Mexico at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, N.J. — before the delegation travels to France seeking its first gold medal since 2012 and its fifth overall.
