U.S. Women’s National Team returns to Fort Lauderdale to play Italy Dec. 1
U.S. Soccer will announce on Monday that the Women’s National Team is playing its 2025 season-ending match against UEFA Women’s Euro semifinalist Italy on Dec. 1 at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, according to sources.
The game will kick off at 7 p.m. and be shown on TNT and HBO Max in English and Peacock in Spanish.
Italy is coming off an impressive run at the 2025 UEFA Women’s Euros where it fell to eventual champions England in the semifinal. Italy led 1-0 deep into second half stoppage time before England equalized and then clinched the victory with a 119th-minute goal.
“As we prepare for World Cup qualifying at the end of 2026, we want to play teams from all parts of the world with different styles and different strengths, so getting to play Italy, one of Europe’s up-and-coming teams, will be a great way to end the year,” said U.S. Women’s National Team coach Emma Hayes.
“This has been a very productive year for our team, learning about each other while embracing our philosophies and standards, so we’re looking forward to two more games against a quality team to continue to grow.”
The USWNT held its 2025 January training camp in Ft. Lauderdale, but the team has not played a match in Florida since the end of 2023 when it defeated China 3-0 at Chase Stadium on goals from Sophia Smith (now Wilson), Lindsey Horan (now Heaps) and Trinity Rodman.
