For the first time in history, the U.S. women’s national team will take on the Canada women’s national team in the Allstate Continental Clásico.
The top two Concacaf women’s national teams are gearing up for a thrilling clash in Washington D.C. to cap off a busy month for both the U.S. and Canada. The USWNT faced Ireland in two international friendlies that each ended in a 4–0 victory for the Stars and Stripes while the CANWNT defeated Haiti and Costa Rica in two lopsided affairs.
The biggest test of the summer for both teams now comes against one another at Audi Field. The USWNT and Canada have faced off 66 times so far, with their two most recent battles being decided by a penalty shootout. The Stars and Stripes came out on top in both of those matches, extending their four-year unbeaten streak against the Reds.
No matter what has happened in the past, though, the Allstate Continental Clásico offers the opportunity for a new edition to the rivalry between the Concacaf powerhouses. The highly anticipated fixture will be the first time the USWNT features in an Allstate Continental Clásico after the U.S. men’s national team played the two previous matches.
The pressure will be on the Olympic champions to deliver on home soil against the Reds. Canada, on the other hand, will relish the opportunity to secure its first victory over the Stars and Stripes since 2021.
Here is guide to the Allstate Continental Clásico.
