USA will face Jamaica in the CONCACAF Nations League final four

In the 2024 March international window, the United States men’s national soccer team will compete in the CONCACAF Nations League final four at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, to defend their title once more.

The United States will be very determined to keep its grasp on the North American international championship after winning the first two iterations of the competition.

On March 21, the United States was pitted against Jamaica in the semifinals; the championship game and third-place match would take place three days later. Mexico and Panama are competing in the other semifinal; therefore, the losers of both semifinals will play each other in the third-place match, with the victors moving on to the final.

Gregg Berhalter emphasised to the media following the roster revelation as well as to CBS Sports during the roster announcement that choosing the players this window was extremely difficult due to the players’ excellent form at the club level worldwide and their best players’ full condition.

This is the first time the USMNT’s first-choice team has been together since they defeated Trinidad and Tobago in the tournament’s quarterfinals back in November. On the other hand, it is expected to be their final meaningful match before they begin the Copa America on their own soil this summer. The only matches they have between this point and the opening match against Bolivia on June 23 are pre-tournament exhibitions against Brazil and Colombia.
