The team will hold a public training session Wednesday from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the stadium. The stadium's North Gate will open at 4:30 p.m., and admission is free.

The USWNT has not played in Charlotte in 19 years, last visiting in April 2000 for a match against Iceland in the run-up to the Sydney Olympics.

The team did launch its World Cup Qualifying campaign in North Carolina, however, winning its opening three games in the CONCACAF Women's Championship in October in Cary.

The USA has played 11 games against Korea Republic in its history, going 9-0-2, with the most recent pair coming in October 2017, a 3-1 win in New Orleans and a 6-0 win in Cary.

The USWNT roster for the Victory Tour matches will feature all 23 players from the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup championship squad.
