Following Olympic qualification, the U.S. Women’s National Team is set for a Women’s World Cup rematch this spring.
U.S. Soccer announced on Tuesday that the USWNT will face Colombia on April 6 at Pratt & Whitney Stadium in East Hartford, Conn. The matchup serves as a rematch from last summer’s Women’s World Cup round of 16 clash, which the U.S. won, 2-0, on finishes from Alex Morgan and Carli Lloyd.
Colombia is currently ranked 25th in the world and has already qualified for this summer’s Olympics.
“These games are not just great for the fans to see quality teams, but are critical for our team to be challenged by different styles from nations outside our region,” said U.S. head coach Jill Ellis in a release. “Colombia is representative of the continued growth of the women’s game world-wide and we are very much looking forward to hosting them in April.”
The clash will be the fourth in the history of the two teams, who have only met in official competition prior to April’s friendly.
Following Monday night’s lopsided victory over Puerto Rico, the U.S. is set for the semifinals of CONCACAF Olympic qualifying on Friday in Houston.

Who cares? Go bake some cakes. El dykeo Wamback can drive her truck.
It baffles me when people who don’t care comment on articles they don’t care about. If you’re a fan be a fan of it all. If you’re a troll go upstairs and help your mom clean the house.
I would like to the house of some of these Colombian mamacita, especially their beds.
Great matchup. Hope it’s warm enough for a quality match.
A pretty decent team. Good choice for a OG warmup
