USWNT Gets Set to Face Portugal On Thursday

The U.S. Women’s National Team will bring its 2018 schedule to a close with two matches in Europe, the first one coming against Portugal on Nov. 8 in Lisbon (1 p.m. ET on ESPN2) at Estadio António Coimbra da Mota, the 8,000-seat home to Second Division club G.D. Estoril Praia.


The USA is coming off a successful run at the 2018 CONCACAF Women’s Championship in which it went 5-0-0, qualified for the 2019 Women’s World Cup by rolling past Jamaica 6-0 in the semifinal and then defeated Canada, 2-0, in the championship game to claim the regional title.
