US Men's Soccer Team to Face Costa Rica in January Friendly

The match in Orlando follows a training camp under new coach Mauricio Pochettino and will feature mostly MLS players.

  • The United States men's national soccer team will play a friendly against Costa Rica on January 22 at Inter&Co Stadium in Orlando, Florida.
  • This match is part of two friendlies scheduled in Florida, with the first against Venezuela on January 18 in Fort Lauderdale.
  • Both games fall outside FIFA's international match calendar, meaning the roster will primarily consist of MLS players and younger talent.
  • The friendlies are part of the team's annual January training camp and will help prepare for the 2025 CONCACAF Nations League Finals, Gold Cup, and 2026 World Cup.
  • New head coach Mauricio Pochettino, who took over in September, aims to evaluate domestic talent and build momentum following his debut win against Panama in October.
