The United States will play the second leg of its CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinal at Cincinnati's TQL Stadium on Nov. 17, the U.S. Soccer Federation said Tuesday. The first leg of the series will be on the road on Nov. 14 at an opponent to be determined next month. The winner advances to a semifinal to be played from March 22-30 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. Starting a four-year cycle under coach Mauricio Pochettino, who took over in 2024, the U.S. has upcoming friendlies against Peru (Sept. 26 in Orlando, Florida), Chile (Sept. 29 in St. Louis), Mexico (Oct. 3 in Glendale, Arizona) and Canada (Oct. 6 in St. Paul, Minnesota).
