It’s been a little more than a month since the French men’s national team took home the 2018 World Cup title, defeating Croatia 4-2. Now that the men’s national teams have all gone home, the female footballers of the world are gearing up for their international tournament. In preparation for the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup in France, the American women’s national team is set to play a friendly match with Chile at Avaya Stadium. It’s the final friendly before the ladies head off to the 2018 CONCACAF Women’s Championship, where they will compete for a berth in the French tournament.

Avaya Stadium, San Jose

The Major League Soccer All-Star Team fell to Arsenal Football Club yesterday, July 28. The squad, comprising top talent from American and Canadian soccer teams lost 1-2 at Avaya Stadium, the San Jose Earthquakes’ recently completed home field.

It was a high-profile event—about as high profile as soccer events go in the U.S. Fans showed up in droves, packing Avaya with an sold-out crowd and filling the streets and parks of San Jose in the run-up to the big game. Multiple official MLS All-Star events were held at San Pedro Square Market, and a well-attended concert, featuring Flo Rida and Belanova, was staged at Plaza de Cesar Chavez.
