""Japan is one of the best teams in the world," U.S. head coach Emma Hayes said in a news release. "I'm a big admirer of how they play and I have tremendous respect for their team and identity. They are a highly experienced group and are fully committed to their style of football. Playing the same opponent three times is unusual but it presents a great challenge and a chance to test ourselves against a top-quality opponent.""
"PayPal Park hosted both the United States men's and women's senior national teams in 2025, staging the USWNT's Olympic gold medal rematch against Brazil in April before hosting Concacaf Gold Cup action between the USMNT and Trinidad and Tobago in June.

The U.S. women’s national team will play Japan at PayPal Park in San Jose on April 11 at 2:30 p.m., the first of three matches against Japan during the April international window. Additional fixtures versus Japan are scheduled for April 14 in Seattle and April 17 in Commerce City, Colorado. PayPal Park previously hosted both U.S. senior national teams in 2025, including the USWNT’s Olympic gold medal rematch against Brazil, and the U.S. record at the venue is 5-1-0.
