Mexico (ET): 16:00 PM in TUDN

USA (ET): 17:00 PM in TUDN

Stephany Mayor is one of the Tricolor's key players. The Tigres player has experience in Europe and is one of the elements that Monica Vergara relies on to integrate the new generation of players with the more experienced ones.

Megan Rapinoe has become the leader of this squad, with the authority she wields on and off the field she is the most important player on the team at the moment.

In the first match between the two teams, the US fans made their voices heard during the game, chanting "Equal pay" to demand fairer salaries for female players compared to the men's team.

The U.S. Women's National Team has been an important pillar for gender equality demands, with movements generated from within and projected onto the fan base that follows them.

The Stars and Stripes have played five friendlies before these matches against the Mexican national team.
In the first match they drew one goal against Sweden. In the second match they managed to beat France by a score of 2-0.
They then faced Portugal, whom they beat by the narrowest of margins.
Jamaica and Nigeria were their opponents before facing El Tri and they beat them both 4-0 and 2-0, respectively.
In the last match the Mexicans were dealt the same dose as Nigeria.

 

The Mexico Women's National Team has not been able to reflect favourable scores since its new process, however, its performance has left a good taste in the mouth.

All told, Mexico got off on the right foot on their return to the Estadio Azteca with a 3-1 win over Costa Rica, with their second match also a goalless draw against the Ticos.

The next opponent was Slovakia, in their first match on the agreed tour of Europe. In this match they also played to a goalless draw.

The third opponents the Mexicans faced were the Spanish national team. Spain's 3-0 win over Mexico exposed many of the Aztecs' shortcomings, most notably a very vulnerable defence.

Before facing the U.S., Mexico faced Japan and so far it is the highest scoreline Mónica Vergara has conceded with 5 goals conceded and only one scored.The Aztecs have conceded 5 goals and scored only one.The Aztecs have conceded 5 goals and scored only one.

On this latest tour, El Tri Femenil have already faced their first episode against the USA and lost 4 goals to nil.

 

With the arrival of Mónica Vergara as technical director of the tricolor, much has been said about the impulse that the FMF is seeking for the development of women's football, both in the local tournament and at national team level.

With the pursuit of these friendlies, Vergara wants to try out new players, and with the help of the veterans is in the process of developing and establishing his own style of play.

 

This will be the second duel between the teams in the mini-tour scheduled for this FIFA date.

The Mexican Football Federation has agreed on two warm-up games against the United States. The Stars and Stripes will be the fifth opponent the SNM has faced since the arrival of Monica Vergara to the Tricolor bench.

Costa Rica, Slovakia, Spain and Japan were the previous opponents.
 

The stadium is located in the state of Connecticut and is considered a multi-disciplinary stadium. It is home to several sports including football, lacrosse, soccer and rugby.

It is the home of the University of Connecticut Huskies.
