U.S. Men’s Olympic Team set to play Japan in last pre-tournament friendly on June 11

USMNT Olympic squad sees Guinea round out Group A


The U.S. men’s Olympic national team will visit Kansas City, Kansas for its final friendly before embarking to Paris, France.

Japan will oppose Marko Mitrovic’s squad on June 11 in the final pre-Olympic friendly for the Americans, U.S. Soccer announced Friday. Sporting KC’s Children’s Mercy Park will serve as the host venue for the match.

“We’ve had a number of productive training camps in preparation for the Olympic Games and we’re excited to play in front of American fans in our last game before we travel to France,” said Mitrović. “It’s important for us to continue building toward the Olympics and we know that Japan will provide a strong test. Kansas City is known for its passionate soccer fans and it will be a great host for our final match in the United States.”

The U.S. men’s Olympic Team is preparing for its first tournament involvement since 2008. Majority of Mitrovic’s roster will be made up of players under the age of 23-years-old, with three roster spots being occupied by players above that age.

Most recently, the United States faced off with France and Guinea during the March international window. Both France and Guinea will be part of the Americans’ group in Paris this summer, as well as New Zealand.

The U.S. will face France on July 24 in both nations’ opening match of the Olympics. New Zealand will take on the Americans on July 27 before the U.S. and Guinea face off on July 30 in the final match of the group stage.

Both the Stade de Marseille and Stade Geoffroy-Guichard will serve as host venues for the Americans group stage matches.
