On Feb. 27, the U.S. women's national team lost its first match under head coach Emma Hayes. That 2–1 defeat to Japan ended a 16-match undefeated streak (14-0-2).

Now, the USWNT and Hayes must pick themselves up from the mat, and waiting in the ring is Brazil. Yes, this weekend's match may just be a friendly with few competitive implications, but it will be the first time the two giants of the Americas have faced each other since the 2024 Olympic gold medal match, which the USWNT won 1–0.
