Chris Petrucelli’s new-look Chicago Red Stars will take the field in a competitive game for the first time as they take on Houston Dash in the opening game of the 2022 NWSL Challenge Cup. This is the first of six rounds of matches that will take place in the third edition of this pre-season competition, with both teams a part of the “Central” group also involving Louisville and Kansas City. The match will kick off at 6:00 PM Central Time at Houston’s PNC Stadium.
The Red Stars will have their full roster available for this game, excluding Kealia Watt (not yet reported for camp), Sarah Woldmoe (maternity leave), Kayla Sharples, and Sarah Luebbert (both on loan).
