The U.S. men’s national team manager Mauricio Pochettino has called up 27 players for the March friendlies against Belgium and Portugal in Atlanta, the team announced Tuesday.
Headlined by USMNT veteran stars Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie, the March friendlies are a critical opportunity for the squad to test itself against the most challenging opponents the USMNT has faced since Pochettino took over as manager in 2025. At the same time, the March window serves as the final games for players to impress, with the Argentine coach previously committing to naming his World Cup roster in May before the June friendlies against Senegal and Germany.
