US men's soccer to open 2025 schedule with friendly against Venezuela
ST. LOUIS — The U.S. men's national team will open its 2025 schedule with a friendly against Venezuela on Jan. 18 at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The game, announced Monday, is not on a FIFA international fixture date, so the teams will be without most Europe-based regulars.
The American team under new coach Mauricio Pochettino will hold a training camp before the match, relying heavily on players from Major League Soccer.
