Aug 4 : The U.S. will begin their next chapter under head coach Mauricio Pochettino on home soil with friendlies against Peru, Chile, Mexico and Canada this year, U.S. Soccer said on Tuesday.
The Americans will host Peru on September 26 in Orlando before taking on Chile in St. Louis, Missouri three days later. They will renew their CONCACAF rivalry with Mexico on October 3 in Glendale, Arizona before facing northern neighbours Canada in St. Paul, Minnesota.
U.S. Soccer said on Monday that Pochettino had agreed to lead the men’s team through to the 2030 World Cup after taking them to the last 16 at this year’s tournament which they co-hosted with Canada and Mexico.
“We are so excited to start this new phase of our journey with matches in front of our home fans. Their amazing energy during the summer has set the standard,” Pochettino said in a statement.
