The U.S. Soccer Federation's board of directors will consider the possible repeal of its policy requiring national team players to stand during the national anthem according to multiple sources.
At the urging of USSF president Cindy Parlow Cone, the board will meet via conference call Tuesday to discuss the policy, sources said. The board will likely take a formal vote on Friday.
If the board votes to repeal the policy, it would take effect immediately, but it would still have to be voted on at the next annual general meeting, scheduled to take place in February or March of next year.
