The U.S. Women's National Team prepares for its final tune-up match for the 2012 London Olympics when it hosts Canada at 12 p.m. MT on Sunday, June 30, at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah. The match will be broadcast live on NBC. 

More than 13,500 tickets have been sold for the match at Rio Tinto, the home of Major League Soccer's Real Salt Lake.

The USA is coming off victories against Sweden and 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup champion Japan to win the Volvo Winners Cup in Halmstad, Sweden. Following the Canada match, the U.S. will have a nine-day break before heading to the U.K. for its pre-Olympic training camp. The Americans open their Olympic Games on July 25 - two days before the official Opening Ceremonies - with a huge clash against France at Hampden Park in Glasgow, Scotland.
