The U.S. women’s national team will hold its traditional January training camp in New Zealand and play a pair of exhibition games against the island country’s national team. Both teams are preparing for next summer’s World Cup, co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand. The U.S. women have won the last two World Cups, and four overall. The matches against New Zealand are scheduled for Jan. 18 in Wellington and Jan. 21 in Auckland. The games will take place in the two stadiums that the United States will visit during the group stage of the World Cup.
