The entire U.S. Women's World Cup team will be in attendance Tuesday and Wednesday for the team's soccer match at Finley Stadium against Costa Rica.

All 23 players that were on the roster will be a part of Tuesday's open training session - which is free to the public - as well as Wednesday's match, which will be held at 6:30 and will be broadcast on ESPN2.

Chattanooga will be the second stop on the champions' "Victory Tour." The team starts with a match in Pittsburgh on Sunday, then will travel to the White House Monday before arriving in the Scenic City.

While all of the players will be in attendance, there's no guarantee that all of the players will play due to injuries and the fact that the team is only allowed six subs.
