All four December dates, locations, and opponents for the USWNT's World Cup Victory Tour are finally known. They are as follows:
December 6 | Trinidad & Tobago | Honolulu, Hawaii | Aloha Stadium | Fox Sports 1
December 10 | Trinidad & Tobago | San Antonio, Texas | Alamodome | ESPN2
December 13 | China PR | Glendale, Arizona | University of Phoenix Stadium | ESPN2
December 16 | China PR | New Orleans, Louisiana | Superdome | Fox Sports 1
If this seems like an incredibly compressed schedule, you would be correct. Best guess is that the national team is contractually owed time off in November, and the Victory Tour must be completed before the end of the calendar year. With Christmas ruling out the back half of December, that leaves the front of the month available for games. Additionally, the last two games will come after the end of the NCAA College Cup, making it easier for head coach Jill Ellis to call in any college players for evaluation.
The US is 8-0-0 all time against Trinidad & Tobago and 33-8-13 all time against China.
