CHICAGO – The U.S. Women’s National Team will take a swing through Texas to play Russia twice in April, opening the two-game set on Thursday, April 6 at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas (7:30 p.m. CT; FS1 [pre-game show starting at 7 p.m. CT]). Three days later, the two teams will meet on Sunday, April 9 at BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston (1 p.m. CT; ESPN).

These will be the final U.S. WNT matches before the National Women’s Soccer League kicks off its historic fifth season.

Russia, which is set to compete in the 2017 UEFA Women’s Euro this summer in the Netherlands, was drawn into a tough Group B with Germany, Italy and Sweden. Russia qualified for the tournament by finishing second behind Germany in Group 5 of the qualifying process.

These will be the first friendly matches on U.S. soil since early November of last year and will come a month after the SheBelieves Cup, which brings Germany, France and England to the USA from March 1-7 for three high-profile doubleheaders.

Ultimate Fan Tickets (special VIP packages that include a premium ticket, a custom-made official U.S. National Team jersey with name and number, VIP access to the field before and after the game, and other unique benefits) are also available for both games exclusively through ussoccer.com.

TICKETS available through ussoccer.com (including group orders of 20 tickets or more) and also available via Toyota Stadium ticket office (open Monday-Friday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) or by phone at 855-492-8053 (Monday-Saturday 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. CT, Sunday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. CT).
