CHICAGO (Dec. 30, 2018) – Taking advantage of the opportunity presented by the annual January Camp, U.S. Men’s National Team head coach Gregg Berhalter has called 25 players to participate in a nearly month-long training stint. The USMNT will train and play closed-door scrimmages from Jan. 5-25 at the Aspire Academy in Doha, Qatar, before returning to Los Angeles to face Concacaf rival Costa Rica on Feb. 1 at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif.
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.
