The U.S. men's national team is set to play in the 2022 Qatar World Cup, opening with a match against Wales on Nov. 21. But before they do, they'll have a final tune-up with a pair of friendlies against Japan (Sept. 23 in Dusseldorf, Germany) and Saudi Arabia (Sept. 27 in Murcia, Spain) in late September.

Chelsea forward Christian Pulisic, Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie and the Leeds United duo of Brenden Aaronson and Tyler Adams are among those chosen for the United States men's national team's 26-player roster that U.S. Soccer unveiled on Wednesday. 

“As we approach the World Cup, this is another opportunity for us to take a step forward as a group,” USMNT coach Gregg Berhalter said.

 “We have a strong roster and can use these games as a measuring stick against World Cup opponents as we continue to gain valuable experience ahead of going to Qatar.” Berhalter is expected to reveal his World Cup team on Nov. 9. during an event in New York.
