The U.S. men’s national team will host Senegal for an international friendly on Sunday night, the first of two pre-tournament games before the team kicks off the 2026 World Cup on home soil on June 12.
Taking place at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, the USMNT will face a formidable test as they look to find chemistry against the 2025 AFCON finalists, who were controversially stripped of the title months after defeating Morocco to become African champions.
Led by manager Mauricio Pochettino, the USMNT unveiled the official 26-man roster for the World Cup on Tuesday in New York City and have since been training at the new Arthur M. Blank U.S. Soccer National Training Center just south of Atlanta.
With the USMNT talents of Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie and Tyler Adams, among others, facing Senegal’s superstars, Sadio Mané, Nicolas Jackson and more, Sunday’s match will be one you won’t want to miss.
