The United States will cap the first day of competition when they face Japan in Kansas City for a rematch of the 2015 World Cup final won by the Americans.

That match will follow the opener between Australia and Brazil, who are currently ranked sixth and eighth in the world, respectively.

The tournament winner will be based on total points, with the first tiebreaker being overall goal difference.
