The US Men’s National Team is set to face Venezuela in a friendly match at Inter Miami CF’s home stadium on January 18, 2025. This will be the first time the USMNT returns to South Florida since 2020. The match will be broadcast live on various networks and platforms. Venezuela is focused on qualifying for the 2026 World Cup and has had recent success, including reaching the quarterfinals of the 2024 Copa América. The USMNT holds an edge in the series against Venezuela but lost their most recent meeting in 2019.
The match falls outside a FIFA international window, providing an opportunity for young players to make a statement. The weekend will also feature an FC Series match on Sunday. Presale tickets will be available for Inter Miami CF members before the general public sale. The Florida Blue Training Center where the USMNT will train has hosted various international teams and features top-notch facilities.
The USMNT’s annual January Camp at the training center has historically provided opportunities for MLS-based players to showcase their talents. The training center includes multiple fields and is designed to support both professional and youth players. The USMNT’s upcoming match against Venezuela is part of their preparation for the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup and the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
