GREATER LANDOVER, Md. — Men’s international soccer is returning to the D.C. area this summer for the first time since 2019.
The U.S. Men’s National Team will face off against Colombia on June 8 at FedExField. It’s the first time the stadium will host the Men’s National Team since 2012.
The match comes as the team prepares for the prestigious Copa America tournament. Head coach Gregg Berhalter says holding the match at FedExField against Columbia will help prepare his young team for strong international competition.
“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 Gregg 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.”
Los Cafeteros are currently red-hot, riding a 19-match unbeaten streak heading into the March international window.
Colombia currently sits in third place in South America qualifying for the 2026 World Cup with an unblemished 3-0-3 record. This summer, Colombia will aim to build on a third-place finish at the last Copa América and secure its second title after topping the podium on home soil in 2001.
