USMNT, USWNT Call Off Friendlies Amid Coronavirus Outbreak

A pair of U.S. men’s national team friendlies scheduled toward the end of this month in Europe and two women’s national team exhibitions in April have been cancelled by the U.S. Soccer Federation, which is joining sports organizations around the world attempting to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

A U.S. Soccer source confirmed the cancellations Thursday morning, and added that all youth national team programming will be suspended through the end of April. Yahoo Sports was first to report the senior national team cancellations.

The American men were scheduled to play Netherlands in Eindhoven on March 26 and then Wales in Cardiff on March 30.
