The U.S. Women have a long history in Pennsylvania, having played 12 matches in the state, including a 5-0 victory against Nigeria in Philadelphia during the 2003 FIFA Women’s World Cup, but this will be just the second match at PPL Park. The first was in October of 2010, also against China, and ended in a 1-1 draw as Alex Morgan scored her first career WNT goal with a late equalizer.

PPL Park is a part of the new wave of stadium construction for Major League Soccer. The stadium opened during the summer of 2010 and is the home of the Philadelphia Union.

The USA, which currently sits atop the FIFA Women’s World Rankings, will be playing China for the first time since January of 2011 when it won 2-0 to take the title at the Four Nations Tournament in Chongqing, China, on goals from Carli Lloyd and Amy Rodriguez.

The U.S. national team will host five-time World Cup champion Brazil May 30 at FedExField in Landover, Md. (TV: ESPN2, ESPN3 and Univision, 8 p.m. ET). It will be the second of three friendlies scheduled before World Cup 2014 qualifying starts in June.

This will be the fourth meeting in as many years between the United States and Brazil, the most recent a 2-0 win for the Selecao on Aug. 10, 2010, in front of more than 77,000 fans at the New Meadowlands Stadium.

Brazil leads the series with 15 wins in 16 games. The lone U.S. came at the 1998 Gold Cup when Preki scored to give the USA a 1-0 win. Kasey Keller earned the shutout.
