Seattle Reign FC Announces July International Friendly at Lumen Field
Reign FC to host Japan’s Urawa Red Diamonds at Lumen Field on July 20
Seattle Reign FC today announced a high-profile international friendly with Japan’s Urawa Red Diamonds, set for July 20 at Lumen Field. The match is part of the club’s preparation for the NWSL’s return in August – a month where Reign FC will host three regular-season games at Lumen Field.
The July matchup reflects Reign FC’s commitment to bringing global competition to the Pacific Northwest and offers fans the chance to witness top-tier soccer beyond the regular season.
“Seattle is a global soccer city. That fact is built on over a century of soccer played here, including girls and women,” said Seattle Reign FC Chief Business Officer Maya Mendoza-Exstrom. “Seattle Reign FC was built on that legacy. As we get ready to welcome the world for the first of two summers – we are humbled to also host the women’s side from Urawa this July – and test ourselves against one of Asia’s most accomplished clubs.”
Urawa Red Diamonds, a powerhouse in Japanese women’s football and a consistent contributor to the national team, bring a storied legacy and technically refined style of play to the U.S. Coming off a tightly contested WE League season that saw them finish third, Urawa also represented Japan in the inaugural AFC Women’s Champions League this past year. Their visit to Seattle is part of a broader summer tour that includes matches against Bay FC and Portland Thorns FC.
“Welcoming Urawa Red Diamonds to Seattle is an exciting moment for our club and our supporters,” said Seattle Reign FC General Manager Lesle Gallimore. “This is more than a friendly – it’s an opportunity to challenge ourselves against one of Asia’s elite clubs and perennial contenders in Japan's WE League and to showcase the global caliber of talent we have here rooted in Seattle.”
This moment also arrives during a historic summer for Seattle soccer. As the city hosts FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ – with Seattle Sounders FC and the Urawa Red Diamonds men’s side among the featured clubs – Reign FC’s match against Urawa’s women’s team adds a powerful layer to Seattle’s emerging identity as a global soccer hub.
The international friendly is included in all Season Ticket Member packages. Tickets will be loaded directly into accounts, with additional details shared by email. Single match tickets go on sale Thursday, June 5 at 1:00 p.m. PT at ReignFC.com/Tickets.
