Who is NC Courage, Chivas Femenil's rival in this week's international match? | OneFootball

This Friday, we will witness another chapter in Chivas Femenil's international journey as they visit North Carolina for the first time to play a warm-up match against NC Courage. There is a lot of excitement surrounding this match, so here we will tell you everything you need to know about the Rebaño's opponent this weekend.

NC Courage is an American club that competes in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL), based in Cary, North Carolina. It plays its home games at WakeMed Soccer Park and was founded in 2017, following the acquisition of Western New York Flash by new owners, who decided to move the franchise to its current location.

Since arriving in North Carolina, the Courage has established itself as one of the most important teams in American women's soccer. It has won three consecutive NWSL Shields (2017, 2018, 2019), the inaugural Women's ICC championship, and two league titles in 2018 and 2019.

Like Chivas, the American institution stands out for its commitment to developing talent from the youth ranks to the professional level, which has allowed it to become a powerhouse within its league and remain a benchmark for the growth of women's soccer in its country.

Its squad is made up of high-quality players with experience at both the local and international levels. Among the stars who have worn its jersey are Crystal Dunn (United States), Abby Erceg (New Zealand), and Debinha (Brazil), who is reunited with Chivas Femenil after their clash in last year's Summer Cup.

The team is currently ninth in the NWSL standings and comes into this match after a 2-1 win over Houston Dash.

This will be the first time the two teams have faced each other, so we are in for an unprecedented and exciting event. For Chivas Femenil, this match marks an important step as a valuable opportunity to raise their level against an international rival.
