CINCINNATI — TQL Stadium will be the backdrop for an international match between the U.S. Women's National Team and the Republic of Ireland Women's National Team this summer, FC Cincinnati announced. 

The match will be Sunday, June 29. Kickoff is 3 p.m.

“We are thrilled to host the U.S. Women’s National Team as they take on Ireland this summer at TQL Stadium,” said Jeff Berding, president & co-CEO of FC Cincinnati. “This match continues on our promise of bringing the world to Cincinnati and representing Cincinnati to the world. We continue to be bullish on women’s soccer in Cincinnati, and this match will showcase our market as well as some of the best soccer players from across the globe.”

The USWNT is returning to the Queen City for the third time since the stadium opened in 2021, which is also the hometown of star midfielder Rose Lavelle and goalkeeper Aubrey Kingsbury. 

This match will also be the first between the two teams since April 2023 when USWNT swept a pair of games in Austin, Texas and St. Louis. 

“Ireland is one of the most difficult European teams to play against, so I’m happy we could get these games,” said U.S. head coach Emma Hayes. “We need to play teams that will push us and create an environment where our players have to solve problems and play under pressure. We’re still early in our process of building toward World Cup qualifying for ’27, and we still have a lot of growth to go as a team and as individuals, so these summer matches at these great soccer venues will once again provide a platform for the players to show their abilities to excel at a high level.”

Tickets will first go on sale for FC Cincinnati Season Ticket Members through a presale starting Wednesday at noon. Orange and Blue reserve members will have a presale window starting Wednesday at 2 p.m.

Tickets to the public will go on sale Friday at 10 a.m.
