The U.S. men’s national team will kick off its World Cup preparation with a friendly against Morocco on June 1 in Cincinnati, the site of November’s emphatic 2-0 win over Mexico that was the highlight of the seven-month qualifying campaign.
The June international window, which includes four games, will be the longest stretch the U.S. has together before the November-December World Cup in Qatar. The Americans will face Morocco at TQL Stadium and a second exhibition opponent at a to-be-announced U.S. venue before entering Concacaf Nations League play toward the middle of the month. The U.S. was drawn against Grenada (home on June 10) and El Salvador (away on June 14).
Two more friendlies in late September will fill out the national team’s limited pre-World Cup schedule.
