The US women’s soccer team is preparing for the Women’s World Cup in Brazil next summer. The team, currently ranked No. 2 in the world, will face off against top-ranked Spain in two friendly matches in October.
Qualification and Road to Brazil
Qualification for the World Cup is well underway, with 14 teams already securing berths. Brazil, which has an automatic spot as host, has never won the women’s tournament. The US team will participate in CONCACAF qualifying in late November in Texas.
The US women’s team has won four World Cup titles and is looking to add another one to their collection. The team will face stiff competition from other top-ranked teams, including Spain, Germany, and France.
