U.S. Men’s National Team head coach Mauricio Pochettino has named 26 players to the roster for October training camp as the United States prepares for upcoming friendlies against Ecuador and Australia.
Christian Pulisic, a Hershey native and product of PA Classics, headlines the group. He’s joined by Wayne-born goalkeeper Matt Freese, as well as Brenden Aaronson and Mark McKenzie, both products of the Philadelphia Union Academy.
The October matches will see the USMNT face Ecuador at Q2 Stadium in Austin, Texas on October 10 before meeting Australia at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colorado on October 14. Both opponents have already qualified for next summer’s FIFA World Cup, providing an important test for the United States as preparations continue.
Fans in our region will also have the chance to see the team in action this fall, when the USMNT plays New Zealand at Subaru Park on November 15 at 5 P.M. Tickets are available now.
