The Road to Rio continues as the USWNT faces Japan in the first of two international friendlies.
The United States Women’s National Team (USWNT) reconvened in camp last week as they prepare to take on seventh-ranked Japan on Thursday, June 2 in Denver, Colorado, in the first of two international friendlies.
The friendlies are a part of the team's Road to Rio preparations for the upcoming Olympics as Head Coach Jill Ellis continues to make roster decisions for the Summer Games.
Thursday night's match, which sold out all 18,000 tickets in just 10 minutes, marks the first time the USWNT and Japan have met since the 2015 Women’s World Cup Final,.
