U.S. Soccer announced two more matches for the U.S. Woman’s National Team as part of their Victory Tour, one of which will take place in Orlando at the Orlando Citrus Bowl on Oct. 25.
The fifth and sixth games of the ten-game ‘Victory Tour’ follow the Women’s World Cup title claimed by the USWNT, where they defeated Japan in a stunning 5-2 victory in early July.
A third World Cup title for the program, the U.S. Women’s National Team partnered with Orlando City Soccer Club and the City of Orlando to host the FIFA champions in the milestone rivalry match.
“We are proud to continue giving our community the soccer it craves,” said Orlando mayor Buddy Dyer. “It’s very evident that the soccer legacy has grown exponentially over the years, and opportunities like this one, with the U.S. Women’s National Team, will only strengthen Central Florida’s prominence on the global soccer scene.”
“We’re so excited that the world-champion U.S. Women’s Soccer Team and their Brazilian counterparts are coming to Central Florida,” Orange County mayor Theresa Jacobs said. “The physical fitness and capabilities of these athletes are simply remarkable, and their commitment to teamwork sets a wonderful example for us all – especially for our young people. It’s such an honor to have been selected as the location as part of their Victory Tour. I can’t wait to help fill the Citrus Bowl on October 25th for these world-class athletes.”
The 2015 Women’s World Cup champions face Brazil in Seattle on Wednesday, Oct. 21, before facing Brazil again in Orlando on Sunday, Oct. 25.
