It will be the first meeting between the U.S. and Canada since 2016. The USWNT currently have a 17-match unbeaten run against the Canadians, dating back to 1985.
The USMNT will kick off play in the inaugural tournament on Oct. 11th at home against Cuba. After that, Gregg Berhalter’s side will take on Canada for a home-and-home before concluding the group stage with a trip to Cuba on Nov. 19th at 7:30 p.m. EST.
Due to no CNL matches in the September FIFA window, Berhalter’s side will have a pair of friendlies during that month. No opponents or venues have been determined at this time.
Should the USMNT finish its group as the winner, they will qualify for the Final Championship. The bottom team in League A will be relegated to League B for the following year.

GB also never gave Tim Parker a look he was good when Arena and Sarachian called him up for the nats and he has also been good for the Red Bulls this season.
