USMNT close to deal to play June friendly at Audi Field

Audi Field was built primarily to house D.C. United, but the 20,000-seat soccer stadium in the southwest quadrant of the city was also designed to stage other events.

And in what is its first major score outside of MLS, the venue has reached an agreement in principle to host a U.S. men’s national team friendly in June, multiple people familiar with the selection process said Tuesday.

The opponent has not been secured yet by the U.S. Soccer Federation, which is scheduling games June 7 and 11 in the buildup to the Concacaf Gold Cup, which will begin June 15.
