The U.S. men’s national team has it second pre-Copa America friendly lined up against one of the world’s top teams.
Brazil will oppose the Americans on June 12 in Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida. It will mark the second Continental Clasico for the USMNT after squaring off with Mexico in 2023 in the first edition of the annual match.
“Getting the opportunity to play against Brazil is special,” USMNT head coach Gregg Berhalter said. “When you talk about wanting to challenge ourselves against the best teams in the world, you can’t ask for much better than Brazil.
“With their extremely talented player pool and rich history of success on the world stage this will certainly be a great preparation game for Copa America,” he added. “The fan support in Orlando has always been outstanding, and when you play against the five-time World Cup champions at Camping World Stadium it should be even more electric.”
It will mark the first head-to-head showdown between the USMNT and Brazil since 2018. Brazil is currently ranked No. 5 in the FIFA Men’s Rankings and reached the quarterfinals of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Led by several international standouts such as Neymar, Gabriel Jesus, Casemiro, and Marquinhos, Brazil will be seeking a 10th Copa America title this summer in the United States.
The USMNT will also face Colombia on June 8 at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland.
