The U.S. Men’s National Team will open its 2020 schedule with a friendly against Concacaf rival Costa Rica on Saturday, Feb. 1 at Dignity Health Sports Park. Coverage of the USA’s first match of 2020 begins at 12:55 p.m. PT on ESPNews, UniMas and TUDN. Fans will be able to follow the match via Facebook, Twitter@USMNT and Instagram @USMNT.

 

The match will serve as an important preparation opportunity for the rest of the year as the USMNT will compete in the Concacaf Nations League semifinal in June and the start of 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying, which kicks off in September.

 

“The chance to play against a likely World Cup qualifying opponent is fantastic,” USMNT head coach Gregg Berhalter said. “As we continue to develop, it’s important to challenge our group against a variety of different opponents. At the end of a January Camp, we want the players to have a chance to put all the work to the test.”
