The U.S. Women’s National Team faces Nigeria Sept. 3 (12:30 p.m. CT ) at Children’s Mercy Park and then again Sept. 6 at Audi Field. These games will be the seventh and eight meetings of the two nations with the U.S. winning all six previous matches.
Nigeria and the U.S. last played in June of 2021 as part of the run up to the delayed 2020 Olympics. The U.S. finished a disappointing third behind an excellent Canada squad and a quality Sweden side. The U.S. beat Nigeria 2-0 that day and none of the players involved in the goals that day are on this roster, Christen Press assisted by Carli Lloyd and Lynn Williams assisted by Press.
