“China seems to be getting to the stage where they’ve got some increased stability in coaching staff and their player pool, and the results of that stability and planning are beginning to show on the field,” said U.S. head coach Tom Sermanni. “As always, the match will be a chance for our players to make claims for spots on the World Cup qualifying roster later in the fall, but it will also be just before the players head into the NWSL as friendly combatants, so we’ll want to put in quality performances for our home fans.”

The USA has faced China more than any other nation besides Canada and the meeting in April will mark the 51st between the long-time rivals. The USA and China last met during the 2013 Algarve Cup in Portugal, resulting in a 5-0 victory for the Americans.

This match will also serve as Women’s World Cup qualifying preparation for China, which competes in the AFC Women’s Asian Cup in Vietnam in mid-May, a tournament that will send the top five finishers to the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Canada.

The trip to suburban Denver will mark the USA’s third match at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. The USA played here in 2008 against Brazil and in 2012 against Australia (in Pia Sundhage’s last game and against a side coached by Tom Sermanni). Both games were played in front of large crowds.
