The U.S. women’s soccer team will have a send-off game against Costa Rica in Washington before heading to the Olympics.
The match, scheduled for July 16 at Audi Field, will be the fourth friendly match under new coach Emma Hayes as the team gears up for France.
Hayes, who was appointed coach late last year but is finishing her season with Chelsea, will join the team for a game against South Korea on June 1 in Commerce City, Colorado, followed by a rematch on June 4 in St. Paul, Minnesota.
The team will also face Mexico at Red Bull Stadium in New Jersey on July 13. Hayes is expected to announce the 18-player Olympic roster before the Mexico match.
The United States has been under interim coach Twila Kilgore since Vlatko Andonovski left after last summer’s Women’s World Cup. The Olympic campaign begins with a match against Zambia in Nice on July 25.
