U.S. men to follow Copa America with trio of friendlies

The United States men's national team announced a trio of friendlies to take place on home soil in the coming months, with matchups against Canada, New Zealand and Panama.

Currently participating in Copa America, the USMNT's first match following the completion of that tournament will come against Canada at Kansas City, Mo., on Sept. 7. That will be followed by a contest against New Zealand on Sept. 10 at Cincinnati.

The three-match run will conclude with a friendly against Panama on Oct. 12 at Austin, Texas.

The USMNT won all four of its previous matches at Austin FC's Q2 Stadium without conceding a goal.

"Fan support for both our men's and women's national teams has been outstanding each time they have previously played in Austin," Austin FC president Andy Loughnane said. "We look forward to welcoming the men's national team back to Q2 Stadium to close their trio of fall matches at our home."

The USMNT has never lost at any of the three MLS venues.

The squad won its Copa America opener 2-0 against Bolivia on Sunday, with another group play match scheduled against Panama at Atlanta on Thursday, before the group finale against Uruguay at Kansas City on Monday.
