'To play the first-ever women's professional match at SoFi Stadium is a great honor and one worthy of this team,' Hayes said in a statement. 'We're very much looking forward to spending this trip in California, which has produced so many players for the U.S. women's national team and so many great moments in our history.'
The U.S. women's soccer team will meet Brazil at SoFi Stadium in an April friendly that will be the first women's professional sporting event in the four-year-old stadium.
The match will be part of a test of the natural-grass carpet system the stadium will use for the 2026 World Cup, when eight games will be played at SoFi.
The Americans, who beat Brazil 1-0 in France to win their fifth Olympic title, are unbeaten in 15 matches under new coach Emma Hayes.
