With a 1-0 victory over Jamaica, the United States Men’s National team reached the semifinals of the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup. The next challenger on the road to a seventh title is Qatar, an invited guest from the Asian Football Confederation and the host of the 2022 World Cup. The match is set for Q2 Stadium in Austin, Texas, the second international fixture hosted by the brand new venue.
Qatar is managed by Félix Sánchez, a long-time coach with the program who was promoted to the senior team position in July of 2017. The 45-year-old Spaniard has previous experience at La Masia and the Aspire Academy.
