Jurgen Klinsmann is coming to town next summer and he’s bringing his friends along, too.
The United States men’s national soccer team will play a CONCACAF Gold Cup group-stage game on July 10, 2015, at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass. Team USA’s game will be part of a doubleheader at Gillette Stadium, the New England Revolution said in a statement.
The July 10 game will be Team USA’s first game at Gillette Stadium since June 2011 — when it lost 4-0 to then-world champion Spain in an exhibition game in front of over 64,000 fans. The teams will be different and the stakes higher next summer.
The Gold Cup is the championship of the North and Central American and Carribean nations, and the winner of the tournament will earn a spot in the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup. Klinsmann, the United States’ head coach, says winning the Gold Cup will be his team’s top priority in 2015.
Klinsmann previously guided Team USA to glory in the 2013 Gold Cup and he’s coming back for more.
Team USA has fared well in Foxboro, going 16-2-5 in all games and 9-2-2 at Gillette Stadium (which opened in 2002).
CONCACAF will announce the complete groups and tournament schedule in 2015.
