US Men’s Soccer Team Schedule: Upcoming Sports Events

With the 2023 calendar year already halfway done with the next cycle underway, let’s explore the year’s completed and upcoming fixtures.

The United States is navigating a busy summer with two continental tournaments under The Confederation of North, Central America, and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF). It is a continental governing body deemed for association football designated by FIFA.

Before we delve into the 2023 schedule of the US soccer team, let’s explore some pertinent executive decisions!

Executive Decisions 

After winning the CONCACAF Nations League, the US soccer team is looking to defend their CONCACAF Gold Cup title. The interim head coach B.J. Callaghan was given charge of the team for both events. He certainly delivered as the team won the Nations League title by beating Canada 2-0 to secure their second-straight trophy.

However, Gregg Belhalter is set to take over from the international window of upcoming sports events in September 2023. After coaching the USA men’s team at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Berhalter is all set to make his triumphant return as the permanent coach in the friendlies against Uzbekistan and Oman.

The team suffered two back-to-back blows when the sporting director Earnie Stewart and general manager Brian McBridge left in recent months. To bring some stability, Matt Crocker was given the responsibility of becoming the new sporting director. He is all set to prepare the new crop of USMNT’s talented youngsters for the upcoming World Cup on home soil.
