The first game will be held on June 2 at 6 a.m. (Korean time) at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colorado, USA.
Three days later, on June 5th at 9 a.m., the second game will be played at Allianz Field in St. Paul, Minnesota.
This friendly match will be held during the A-match period set by the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA).

Cho So-hyun, Choi Yu-ri (Birmingham City), and Lee Geum-min (Brighton) will participate.
Belho failed to advance to the finals of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Instead, from a long-term perspective, the team is being built in preparation for the 2026 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Women’s Asian Cup and the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Last month, they played a friendly match against the Czech Republic and Portugal in Portugal and recorded 1 win and 1 loss.
The United States is the strongest team, having won the Women’s World Cup four times.
Although they only made it to the round of 16 at last year’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand,
they are still ranked 2nd in the FIFA rankings.
This game is the debut game for coach Emma Hayes, who was appointed as head coach of the U.S. national team ahead of the Paris Olympics.
Coach Hayes is a coach who had an eight-year relationship with Ji So-yeon, a mainstay in Korean women’s soccer,
when she was with Chelsea Women in England’s Women’s Super League (WSL).
The women’s national soccer team has been playing friendly games away to the United States every other year since 2013,
and has never achieved victory, recording only 4 draws and 11 losses in 15 games.
In the most recent match, in October 2021, they performed well,
drawing 0-0 in the first game, but lost 0-6 in the second game.
