The U.S. women's national soccer team is set to play its last game of the year against Italy tonight in Florida. The match is important as the team prepares for the World Cup qualifiers.
The U.S. women's national soccer team is ending a busy year with a match against Italy at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This game is the last of their 2025 season. Fans can watch the game at 7 p.m. ET on TBS, HBO Max, and Peacock.
In their last meeting, the U.S. team won 3-0 against Italy in Orlando. Players like Rose Lavelle and Catarina Macario are back on the field, bringing experience and skill. Lavelle, who missed the first half of the year due to an ankle injury, helped in the last game and is playing well.
Coach Emma Hayes is expected to make tactical changes for tonight's game. She has been trying different lineups all year, giving many players a chance to gain experience. This includes new players like Jameese Joseph and Kate Wiesner, who may play more in this final match.
Hayes also missed a recent MLS match to focus on holiday shopping for her son, Harry. She said she wanted to find unique gifts that are not available in England, including a Messi jersey.
Meanwhile, Arsenal's women's team is facing difficulties after winning the Women’s Champions League last season. Reports suggest that there are issues within the team, affecting their performance in the Women’s Super League. A small group of players is reportedly causing tension, which is impacting team unity.
As the year comes to a close, the USWNT is looking forward to the World Cup qualifying tournament next November. With key players returning, the team hopes to build on their experiences from this year.
