U.S. Soccer confirms September friendly with Mexico

The United States and Mexico will meet in Nashville, Tenn. for a friendly between the two nations in September, U.S. Soccer announced.

The two long-time rivals will meet at Nissan Stadium on September 11 during the first FIFA international break following the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

CONCACAF will be holding qualifying for the confederation’s League of Nations tournament during that international window. However, because the USMNT and El Tri both made the six-team final round of 2018 World Cup qualification, the Hexagonal, the two nations are already qualified and had the date free.

Mexico will come in following the 2018 World Cup, which sees El Tri face off against Germany, South Korea and Sweden in Group F.
