Ever wonder how #USWNT + #USMNT:

⚽️ Schedules opponents for friendlies?
🏟️ Picks cities/stadiums for games?
🎟️ Sets ticket prices?

Here's how, including real examples of why Germany came to East Hartford, and the game that won't happen next month in Seattle — because everything is interdependent.

Inside how U.S. Soccer chooses opponents, venues, prices for USMNT and USWNT matches

USMNT and USWNT fans often complain about high ticket prices, repetitive cities and weak opponents for games, but U.S. Soccer explains everything that goes into such decisions.

Five years ago, Pernille Harder’s $315K move to Chelsea was the most expensive women’s signing ever. Today, the record is almost FIVE times that and it’s been shattered three times in the last six months alone.

Who will be the first $2 million signing? 👀
