USWNT to Face Germany at Red Bull Arena to Close out 2022 Schedule
September 13, 2022 – National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) – NJ/NY Gotham FC News Release
Harrison, NJ – The U.S. Women’s National Team will finish its fall schedule with a marquee matchup against 2022 UEFA Women’s Euro runners-up Germany on Sunday, Nov. 13 at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, N.J. (5 p.m. ET on ESPN).
The match will bring together the top two teams in the latest FIFA Women’s World Rankings with the USA sitting first and Germany second. The match will mark the USWNT’s eighth game at Red Bull Arena – the home of the NWSL’s NJ/NY Gotham FC and MLS’ New York Red Bulls. Of the USA’s last five matches at Red Bull Arena, three were sell-outs and two others fell just short, drawing crowds of 25,706 and 26,332.
“Playing Germany in the final matches of the year will be ideal for our World Cup preparations for all of our players and coaching staff, but it’s also fantastic for all the fans,” said U.S. head coach Vlatko Andonovski. “USA-Germany is always one of the most entertaining match-ups in women’s international soccer and it’s a rivalry that has some wonderful history as well.”
These will be the USA’s first meetings with the two-time Women’s World Cup champions and eight-time European champions since the 2018 SheBelieves Cup, a 1-0 U.S. victory played in challenging weather conditions in Columbus, Ohio.
On Sept. 3, Germany qualified for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup with a 3-0 victory over Turkey (followed by an 8-0 trouncing of Bulgaria on Sept. 6) and topped Group H in UEFA qualifying with a 9-0-1 record while scoring 47 goals and allowing five.
At the end of July, Germany made an impressive run to the title game of the 2022 UEFA Women’s Euro, but fell in overtime to host England, 2-1, in front of a record crowd at Wembley Stadium. Midfielder Lina Magull scored Germany’s lone goal in the final, which was played without star forward Alexandra Popp, who was injured during warmups and could not add to her six tournament goals, which tied for most in the competition.
Germany boasts some of the top young players in the world and several world class veterans, which will make for two compelling games to end the USWNT’s 2022 schedule of matches.
