Hershey native Christian Pulisic will get a homecoming to the Philadelphia region next month when he joins the U.S. men’s soccer team for a Memorial Day friendly against Bolivia in Chester.
National team head coach Dave Sarachan made the announcement Wednesday morning at Talen Energy Stadium.
“I’m really excited to play in Philadelphia — obviously that’s so close to my home, and a lot of my family will be there,” Pulisic said in a statement issued by U.S. Soccer. “Any time I get to put on the U.S. crest, I’m really excited. Obviously, I’m going to get to see some new faces, and I think the team is going to enjoy the trip.
