The United States will play a historic friendly against Cuba in Havana on Oct. 7, U.S. Soccer announced on Thursday afternoon.
The match which will take place at Havana’s Estadio Pedro Marrero will be the first time that the USMNT has played a friendly in Cuba since 1947. This trip to Cuba will be the Americans’ second match on the island in 69-years, having earned a 1-0 win in 2010 World Cup qualifying back in Sept. 2008.
"We are happy to have the chance to bring our team to Cuba," said U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann. "In addition to good competition, we are always looking for our group to have different experiences, and this is a unique opportunity."
The friendly will be broadcast on the ESPN and Univision networks.
