[USA-SWEDEN WOMEN] The U.S. women's national team will play its final match of 2011 Saturday when it hosts Sweden at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. As a testament to the interest in the U.S. women, runners-up at the 2011 Women's World Cup, more than 16,000 tickets have been sold for the match.

(The game will air on ussoccer.com beginning at 9 p.m. ET.)

Their World Cup run in Germany included a road bump in the first round as Sweden beat the USA, 2-1, to conclude group play. It set up a match for the Americans against Brazil, which turned out to be one of the classic games in women's history.

The Americans had also opened the 2011 season with a 2-1 loss to Sweden at the Four Nations Tournament in Chongqing, China.

Coach Pia Sundhage will pick 18 players from the 30 who have been training in Arizona for her game-day roster.

Three players in the U.S. camp recently returned from playing the end of the Swedish club season: Whitney Engen (Tryese), Becky Edwards (Hammarby) and Val Henderson (KIF Orebro).
