While a Japanese Olympic Committee official who tested positive for the coronavirus was at the United States Women's National Team's She Believes Cup game on Wednesday, U.S. Soccer does not believe any players were put at further risk through direct interactions.

Nancy Armour of USA Today shared the governing body's statement:

"As we gather more information, we do not believe at this time that there was any direct interaction between the president of the Japan Football Association and any player, coach or staff member of the United States Women's Soccer Team.
