CHICAGO – The U.S. Women’s National Team announced on Friday it will take on New Zealand on September 19 at the home venue of the USL’s FC Cincinnati, Nippert Stadium, on the campus of the University of Cincinnati. The match will kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET and air on FS1.

The game will mark the first visit to Cincinnati for the U.S. Women since 2008 and the team’s first match at Nippert Stadium, where FCC has averaged more than 19,000 fans per game so far in the 2017 USL regular season.

The United States last faced New Zealand in the opening game of the 2016 Olympics, a 2-0 victory in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, that featured goals from Carli Lloyd and Alex Morgan.

The match in Cincinnati will be the second of a two-game set vs. New Zealand. The teams will also play on Friday, Sept. 15 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colo. (8 p.m. MT on ESPN2).

“The fall friendly matches are an important transition period to 2018 and we want to get the most out of them by continuing to play teams with World Cup and Olympic experience like New Zealand,” U.S. Head Coach Jill Ellis said. “Denver has been a fun place to play for our team over the years, but we also enjoy going to cities where we haven’t been in a while, like Cincinnati. The fans there have shown extraordinary support for their USL team and we’re looking forward to an enthusiastic crowd for our match as well.”
