The Juan Carlos Osorio era officially begins for Mexico this weekend as El Tri competes in its first match under the new head coach when it hosts El Salvador at Estadio Azteca to begin its World Cup qualifying process.

That contest will be one of the six CONCACAF fixtures on Friday night, with the U.S. Men’s National Team-St. Vincent and the Grenadines fixture leading things off at 6:30 p.m. before Peru-Paraguay caps the evening with a kickoff at 10 p.m.

Meanwhile in Europe, eight countries will begin their battles for the last four tickets to France for Euro 2016. Bosnia and Herzegovina, the highest FIFA-ranked team among the playoff teams, will be in action when it takes on Robbie Keane and Ireland. Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Sweden, meanwhile, will host Denmark.

As for some of those who have already secured a spot to next year’s continental tournament, they will participate in a couple of enticing friendlies that will feature matches such as Spain-England, Belgium-Italy and France-Germany.

To wrap the weekend action up on Sunday, the U.S. U-23s team will look to have a better outing against the Brazil U-23s during their second meeting in five days, while NASL crowns a new champion between the New York Cosmos and Ottawa Fury.
