The 2018 Women's International Champions Cup was the first edition of a series of friendly women's association football matches. It took place from July 26 to 29, 2018 in the United States.[1]
For the first time, the ICC included a women's tournament. Nearly a dozen of the regular ICC participant clubs expressed interest in sending their women's sides, but the inaugural women's tournament featured just four teams before expanding in the 2019 ICC. The 2018 tournament featured the semi-finals on July 26, followed by third place play-off and final on July 29, all four matches being held at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. The European participants joined for training sessions at the University of Portland before the tournament.[1] [2]
Four teams participated in the tournament. English club Chelsea were originally scheduled to participate, but were later replaced by Lyon.[3]
