USMNT to Kick Off 2025 with Venezuela Friendly

The U.S. men's team, led by new coach Mauricio Pochettino, will rely on MLS players for the January match.

The friendly match against Venezuela is scheduled for January 18, 2025, at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The game is not set on a FIFA international fixture date, meaning most Europe-based players will be unavailable.
Newly appointed USMNT coach Mauricio Pochettino will oversee a training camp prior to the match.
The team will largely consist of players from Major League Soccer due to the scheduling outside of FIFA dates.
This match marks the beginning of the U.S. team's 2025 schedule under Pochettino's leadership.
