The U.S. women’s national team are headed to Brazil this summer.Emma Hayes’ squad will face the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup hosts in a pair of June friendlies, U.S. Soccer announced Thursday. The Americans will take on No. 6-ranked Brazil in Sao Paolo on June 6 before also facing them on June 9 in Fortaleza. In addition, the USWNT will also travel to Brazil during this FIFA window and will face several top professional clubs in Sao Paulo. “I’m so pleased we were able to schedule these games,” said Hayes. “We want to play the best teams in the most difficult environments at venues across the world as often as we can, and these two games check all those boxes. We need more games in which every fan in the stadium is cheering loudly against us and I’m looking forward seeing how our team performs and grows in these adverse conditions.” These will mark the first head-to-head meetings between the two squads in Brazil since 2014. Only six of the USWNT’s 43 contests with Brazil to date have come there. The USWNT last faced Brazil in April 2025, splitting a pair of home friendlies. A 2-0 USWNT win at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., was followed up by a 2-1 Brazil victory t PayPal Park in San Jose, California.The USA holds a 34-4-5 all-time record against Brazil and will use these matches as great experiences ahead of the CONCACAF W Championship later this fall.
