The Republic of Ireland will head to the USA in June for a double-header against Emma Hayes’ team.
Carla Ward will be reunited with Hayes for the first time since she was part of the backroom staff that was with the US Women’s National Team at last summer’s Olympics.
The first game against the world number one will take place in Denver on Thursday June 26th (01:07 BST). They will then meet again in Cincinnat on Sunday June 29th (19:07 BST).
Ireland last played the USA in a double header prior to their 2023 FIFA World Cup appearance.
“We are looking forward to these two games against the best international team in women’s football as they will provide the kind of challenge that we need to expose our players to more often,” Ward said. “As we continue to work on further developing our squad, these games will allow us the opportunity to put some of our work into practice in what will be two intense games that we will learn a lot from.”
