Minnesota United FC News Release


GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. - Minnesota United announced today that Allianz Field will host the U.S. Women's National Team on Tuesday, June 4 in a friendly match against the Korea Republic in what will be one of the first contests on the bench for new USWNT Head Coach Emma Hayes.

The fixture against the Korea Republic on June 4 is set to kick off at 7 p.m. CT and will be broadcast on TruTV and Universo and streamed live on Max and Peacock. This will be the USWNT's third-ever match hosted at Allianz Field since 2019. The most recent match was also against Korea Republic in October of 2021, a 6-0 win for the USA.

The USWNT will face the Korea Republic on June 1 in Colorado prior to their trip to Saint Paul, Minnesota.

"It will be exciting for everyone to have Emma [Hayes] on board for the June games," said U.S. interim head coach Twila Kilgore, who will join Hayes' staff as an assistant coach upon her arrival in the USA. "We need as many quality games as we can get heading into the Olympics and Korea Republic will provide good tests. While we will be watching every game our players play in their club environments over the next three months, the matches in Colorado and Minnesota are the final international matches before the Olympic Team is chosen, so they will carry that extra edge."

In the coming weeks, U.S. Soccer will announce the final two matches for the USWNT which will take play in July before it leaves for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

Allianz Field has notably become a fortress for the USA national teams, as the Stars and Stripes have not conceded a goal in any of the five previous matches played in Saint Paul since 2019. Combined, the USMNT and USWNT have impressively outscored their opponents 20-0 at Allianz Field.

This will be just the third match for the USWNT at Allianz Field, after playing there in 2019 and 2021 (which was Carli Lloyd's Farewell Match), but the return to Minnesota marks a return to the roots of the U.S. Women's National Team program. The USWNT played its first nine domestic games in Blaine, Minnesota over 1986 (2 games), 1987 (4 games) and 1990 (3 games) at what was then the Blaine Soccer Complex and then the National Sports Center.

The USWNT played a total of 13 matches in Blaine between 1986-2006, did not return to Minnesota until 10 years later in 2016 for a match at U.S. Bank Stadium, home of the Minnesota Vikings, and then played those two matches at Allianz Field after Minnesota United FC joined Major League Soccer in 2017 and completed its soccer-specific venue in 2019.

South Korea has qualified out of Asia for the past three Women's World Cups. The most recent matches between the USA and the Taegeuk Ladies were a pair of friendlies in October of 2021, which resulted in a 0-0 tie in Kansas City, Kansas and a 6-0 win in Saint Paul, Minn.
