Reggae Girlz to face US on June 3

CHICAGO (AP):

The United States women will play Jamaica instead of China on June 3 in St Louis.

The Americans will still host China as planned in a friendly on May 31 in St Paul, Minnesota, US Soccer announced yesterday.

China had previously announced they would play both matches during the international window, but later informed US Soccer that they could only play the first match.

The match against Jamaica will be the first meeting between the two teams since the Concacaf Women’s Gold Cup in 2022.

US Soccer will honour defender Becky Sauerbrunn, who won two Women’s World Cup titles with the United States, in a pregame ceremony in St Louis, her hometown. Sauerbrunn retired from football in December and now works as a television analyst.
