Time for Gregg Berhalter to prove himself as USMNT manager! U.S. schedule pre-Copa America friendly against CONMEBOL heavyweights Colombia

The USSF announced that the match will take place on June 8 at FedEx Field in preparation for this summer's blockbuster tournament. It will be the 21st all-time meeting between the two nations, but Los Cafeteros are in brilliant form, with Colombia on a 19-match unbeaten streak heading into the March international window.

"As we continue to build toward this summer's Copa America and the 2026 FIFA World Cup, we relish the challenge of competing against the best possible opponents and Colombia checks that box. They have been a standout team in World Cup Qualifying and showcase some of the world’s top talent,” USMNT head coach Berhalter said. “We are thrilled to have the U.S. Men's National Team back to FedExField and the DMV, a place with an incredible history of support for our team and for soccer overall."

Colombia currently sit third on CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying and are looking to earn top honor's at Copa America this summer. They last topped the podium in 2001, and have yet to find themselves there since. As for the USMNT, they last appeared in the 2016 edition of the tournament, where they crashed out in the semifinals.

The USMNT is 3-15-5 all-time against Colombia, a foe they have struggled with for years on end.

Berhalter and the USMNT are back this March for a CONCACAF Nations League semifinal match against Jamaica. The USA are set to call their camp in prior to the March 21 match, with it being a final test for fringe players ahead of this summer's Copa America.
