The U.S. men’s national team will kick off its 2025 season with a friendly match against Venezuela on January 18 at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

This information was revealed on Monday. The match occurs outside of FIFA’s international window, meaning both teams will likely be without their European-based stars.

Under the new head coach Mauricio Pochettino, the American squad plans to hold a pre-game training camp, with a significant focus on players from Major League Soccer.
