Wife of the President of United States, Michelle Obama, will be on the stand to cheer the Yankees as the FIFA Women's World Cup Germany 2011 comes to a conclusion today.
Team USA had requested the presence of the President in today's final but instead it is the country's First Lady who will cheer the team.
The USA is bidding to complete a hat-trick of titles against the technically accomplished Japanese, who are making their first appearance in the final and have yet to record a win against the Americans.
It promises to be a tight encounter between two evenly matched sides which reached the final in identical style: the Stars and Stripes recording a 3-1 semi-final win over France, and the Japanese beating Sweden by the same scoreline.
Coaches Norio Sasaki of Japan and Pia Sundhage of the USA, are well acquainted. Three times their sides have faced each other in the last year, and three times the Americans have emerged victorious.
