USA
The US women’s national team is renowned as one of the strongest in the world. Currently, they are gearing up for the Olympic football tournament. The American players have already played one match against South Korea, securing a decisive 4-0 victory. Additionally, the USA has clinched two titles this year: they triumphed in the Gold Cup tournament in March and later won the SheBelieves Cup by defeating Japan and Canada.
The USA could potentially add Olympic gold to these achievements, aiming for their third gold medal in the team’s history, having previously won in 2008 and 2012. In the last Olympics, the USA secured bronze medals.
Moreover, the US team has a new head coach, Emma Hayes, who recently transitioned from Chelsea, where she led the team to significant success. Under her leadership, Chelsea won six Women’s Super League titles, five FA Cups, two Women’s League Cups, one Women’s Spring Series trophy, and one Women’s Community Shield.
South Korea
The South Korean team will not be participating in the Olympic Games this year. During the qualification, South Korea had a mixed performance: a 10-1 thrashing of Thailand followed by two draws (0-0 and 1-1). Accumulating five points was not enough to qualify. Therefore, this match against the USA will be their final friendly game of the summer. A few days ago, they faced the USA and suffered a heavy 0-4 defeat.
