USMNT heads to Qatar for January camp, roster to include ‘some surprising selections’

The United States men’s national team opens 2020 with January camp in Doha, Qatar, followed by its first friendly of the decade Feb. 1 against Costa Rica in Carson, California.

U.S. coach Gregg Berhalter is schedule to announce his roster for the camp and friendly Monday at 2 p.m. ET. It will include some surprising selections, according to a USMNT spokesperson.

The annual camp typically features mainly Major League Soccer players since it falls outside of a FIFA international window and European and Mexican clubs do not often release players midseason.

The United States Soccer Federation has long held its early-year trainings in Southern California.
