August came faster than we thought and with it, the Women’s International Champions Cup that is being held at Providence Park for the second year in a row.
After the Portland Thorns welcomed Barcelona, Houston Dash, and Lyon last year, this time around the invitees are a little bit different: Chelsea and Rayadas de Monterrey are among the pack in 2022. Olympique Lyon comes to town again, this time with a Thorn player on loan in among that squad. Lindsey Horan is once again teammates with former Thorn Amandine Henry and the quest is to give Lyon what Portland denied them last year: the ICC title.
