United States head coach Emma Hayes says her side does not have time to talk politics as the former Chelsea boss returns to England. The United States women’s national team (USWNT) is in its first international window since Donald Trump won a second term in the 2024 United States presidential election on November 5.

When it comes to the privilege of being spoiled with success, few can claim it as much as the fans of the USWNT. With four World Cup victories and five Olympic gold medals under their belt, anything short of triumph is often deemed a failure or letdown.

Saturday’s friendly match between the England Lionesses and the US Women’s National Team (USWNT) is much anticipated for a number of reasons, but it holds extra significance for Emma Hayes.

After leading the U.S. to Olympic gold, the manager is back on home soil for a friendly against her native England. But her sights are set on a bigger prize.

United States women's national team coach Emma Hayes said on Monday that she was "unwell" before taking on her new role, but experiences so far have helped her get her "mojo back."

The friendly, which will see the top two sides in the FIFA women’s rankings face off, is expected to have more than 83,000 in attendance at Wembley.
