ORLANDO, Fla. (Jan. 19, 2021) – The U.S. Men’s National Team will open its 2021 schedule with a friendly against Trinidad & Tobago on Jan. 31 at Exploria Stadium in Orlando, Fla. Coverage of the USA’s first match of the campaign begins at 7 p.m. ET on FS1, UniMas and TUDN. Fans will be able to follow the match via Twitter @USMNT, Instagram @USMNT, Facebook and The Official U.S. Soccer App.
The match will expand on U.S. Soccer’s current slate of games at the venue over January and February, with the Federation in the midst of a pair of friendlies for the U.S. Women’s National Team against Colombia, the final of the two on Jan. 22, as well as the entirety of the 2021 SheBelieves Cup from Feb. 18-24.
The match will serve as an important preparation opportunity for the rest of the year as the USMNT will compete in the Concacaf Nations League Final Four in June, the Gold Cup in July and the start of 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying, which kicks off in September.
“It’s nice after an intensive training camp to get to compete,” USMNT head coach Gregg Berhalter said. “The guys have been working hard and we welcome the opportunity to play against a regional rival like Trinidad and Tobago.”
The staging of the camp and the match fall under the comprehensive U.S. Soccer Return to Play Protocols. Due to the evolving conditions related to the global pandemic, capacity for the event will be limited to 4,500 fans.
