With many of the top USMNT players overseas, a young American squad more than holds its own in a 3-1 win.

Forward Jesús Ferreira and defenders Jalen Neal and John Tolkin have departed the United States men's national team training camp in Ft. Lauderdale and won't be part of the friendlies against Venezuela and Costa Rica.

The United States men’s national team won its first game of 2025, beating Venezuela 3-1 in a friendly at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. A pair of goals late in the first half gave the hosts a comfortable lead heading into the break.
