Brazil v United States: Katowice hosts an unbeaten South American side and a revived American team in the Women’s Under-20 World Cup last 16 on Wednesday 16 September, with kick-off set for 10:00 Brasília time.
The news from the club
Brazil arrive in Poland with a perfect group-stage record under coach Camila Orlando. Three wins from three secured first place in Group B and nine points, following victories over Tanzania (4-1), Canada (3-0) and England (2-1).
The England match offered Orlando the chance to rotate her squad and involve players who had seen little action earlier in the tournament. Brazil trailed before Clarinha and Gisele completed the comeback, maintaining the side’s 100 per cent record.
The United States took a more complicated route out of Group D. Vicky Jepson’s team finished third on four points after recording one win, one draw and one defeat, but progressed among the competition’s four best third-placed teams.
Its decisive result came in the final group fixture, a 9-0 win over New Zealand that confirmed both third place and a place in the knockout rounds.

The tie will be played at Arena Katowice in Poland. Sportv and Cazé TV will carry the match live in Brazil.
