The U20 United States Women's National Team (USWNT) will open their 2023 CONCACAF U20 Women's Championship campaign against Panama on Wednesday at Estadio Olimpico Felix Sanchez in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
USWNT are the tournament's defending champions and have won it a record seven times. Panama are making their seventh appearance in the finals of the tournament.
Led by head coach Tracey Kevins, the USWNT squad features a pool of talented players and newcomers. They are clear favourites to win the game against Panama and also claim the trophy for the third time in a row. However, Panama are a dangerous team and should not be overlooked. The game is expected to be a close one.
