US men to host Peru, Chile, Mexico and Canada to kick off next World Cup cycle
ATLANTA (AP) --- The U.S. men's national team will kick off the next World Cup
cycle with four matches over 11 days on home soil.
The friendlies include games against Peru, Chile, Mexico and Canada in U.S.
cities that didn't host World Cup action this summer.
The Americans will face Peru on Sept. 26 at Inter.co Stadium in Orlando,
Florida. Three days later, they will host Chile at Energizer Park in St. Louis.
The US-Mexico rivalry resumes Oct. 3 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale,
Arizona. And the finale against Canada follows three days later at Allianz
Field in St. Paul, Minnesota.
All four matches will be broadcast on TNT, HBO Max, Telemundo, Universo and
Peacock.
The games come on the heels of the U.S. team's run to the round of 16 at the
World Cup. They also will serve as the first action since U.S. head coach
Mauricio Pochettino agreed to a new deal that puts him under contract through
2030.
"We are so excited to start this new phase of our journey with matches in front
of our home fans," Pochettino said in a statement. "Their amazing energy during
the summer has set the standard.
"Our objective is always to play the best opponents possible, and these matches
provide a variety of experiences for this group of players as we begin this new
chapter of the U.S Men's National Team."
The 2030 World Cup will be held in Spain, Portugal and Morocco.
