USWNT schedule highlighted with Cincinnati talent vs South Africa

In some ways, the U.S. women’s national soccer team is using its time in Cincinnati to pick up the pieces from this past summer’s FIFA Women’s World Cup.

It’s a moment of transition for the USWNT, which will reflect on its its past and look ahead to the next world championship at stake in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Greater Cincinnati will serve as the backdrop for it all with three days of training followed by Thursday’s match at TQL Stadium against South Africa (7:30 p.m.).

The game is the first of two matches between the countries this week. A second will follow on Saturday at Chicago’s Soldier Field. This week is also the USWNT’s first camp since its Round of 16 exit from the World Cup, and the first opportunity to collectively set the program’s sights on next summer’s Olympics.
