Former Chelsea boss Emma Hayes, now managing the US Women's National Team (USWNT), will return to London with her team to face England's Lionesses at Wembley Stadium on 30 November. This friendly is part of a series of four matches for England as they prepare for the 2025 European Championships. England will also play Germany at Wembley on 25 October, followed by South Africa on 29 October at the Coventry Building Society Arena, and Switzerland on 3 December at Sheffield United’s Bramall Lane. These matches will provide crucial preparation against diverse and challenging opponents, with Germany offering a rematch of the 2022 Euros final. Hayes left Chelsea after a highly successful tenure, winning 14 trophies, and is currently leading the USWNT at the Paris Olympics.
