The U.S. Women’s National Team will come out of the Avaya Stadium tunnel for the second time in less than two years for Thursday’s highly anticipated friendly against Romania.
The first time these players graced the Avaya Stadium pitch was Mother’s Day 2015 when the United States defeated the Republic of Ireland 3-0 in the first of three Send-off Series matches ahead of the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Prior to the match, the players were accompanied by their mothers in a memorable Mother’s Day tribute. Right before they took the field for kickoff, all of the players and mothers congregated for a group photo in celebration of the big day.
