“Getting the opportunity to play against Brazil is special,” USMNT head coach Gregg Berhalter said as part of the announcement. “When you talk about wanting to challenge ourselves against the best teams in the world, you can’t ask for much better than Brazil.

“With their extremely talented player pool and rich history of success on the world stage this will certainly be a great preparation game for Copa America. The fan support in Orlando has always been outstanding, and when you play against the five-time World Cup champions at Camping World Stadium it should be even more electric.”
