The USMNT's January training camp that was supposed to be held in Qatar has been canceled two days before it was set to begin "due to the developing situation in the region," U.S. Soccer announced Friday night.
The news appears to stem from safety concerns related to the death of Iranian Major General Qassim Suleimani, who was killed early Friday by an American drone strike near the Baghdad airport. Suleimani's death has sparked fear of possible retaliations and is viewed by some as a possible step in destabilizing the region further.
