USMNT Kicks Off New Cycle with Four Fall Friendlies

Following the United States’ “thrilling” run at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the federation announced a new competitive slate to begin the post-World Cup era. Head coach Mauricio Pochettino—who replaced Gregg Berhalter after the Copa America group-stage exit—signed a contract extension that keeps him at the helm through 2030. His record with the national team stands at 17-12-2 (wins-losses-draws). The upcoming matches will serve as the first tests for the squad under the extended partnership and as preparation for the 2030 World Cup qualification campaign, which will be hosted by Morocco, Portugal and Spain.

The friendlies provide a platform for evaluating emerging talent ahead of the 2030 World Cup qualifying cycle while reinforcing the partnership between the federation and its fan base. By scheduling matches against two South American sides and two CONCACAF rivals, U.S. Soccer aims to expose the squad to diverse playing styles, a strategic step toward maintaining competitive momentum after the 2026 World Cup host-nation experience.
