The US Women's National Team returns to action on Thursday, October 23, facing Portugal in an international friendly at Subaru Park in Chester, Pennsylvania. This match marks a crucial opportunity for Emma Hayes to continue evaluating her player pool and refine tactical approaches, especially as the team prepares for the next World Cup cycle.
The USWNT roster features a mix of veterans like Lindsey Heaps and Rose Lavelle, alongside returning European-based stars such as Catarina Macario and Emily Fox, after being rested in the last window. Portugal have historically struggled against the USWNT, with the exception of a memorable 0-0 draw at the 2023 World Cup, however, have been in a recent winless streak in major tournaments.
Expect the US to be in control, looking to dominate possession and break down a Portuguese side that may favor a deep, defensive shell. The game also serves as a poignant pre-match event, celebrating the retirement of USWNT legend Alex Morgan.
