USWNT vs. Nigeria, 2022 friendly: USWNT prepare for weekend series against African powerhouse

After clinching their spot in the 2023 Women’s World Cup by winning the CONCACAF W Championship, it's time for the United States Women’s National Team to get ready for the September international window. Nigeria will be their opponent in two friendlies to take place this weekend.

Nigeria is the first opponent for the USWNT as they begin preparations for the Women’s World Cup next summer, where they will vie for an unprecedented third straight World Cup title. The Labor Day weekend series of friendlies begin Saturday in Kansas City, one of the best supporting cities in the United States for women's soccer.
