US to play Reggae Boyz on February 3
CHICAGO (AP) — The US will play Jamaica in an exhibition on February 3 at Chattanooga, Tennessee, a rare game for the Americans on artificial turf.
The match, announced Tuesday, is the second under Coach Bruce Arena. The game will be played at Finley Stadium and will be the first for the US in Chattanooga.
Arena, the US coach from 1998-2006, replaced Jurgen Klinsmann in November following losses to Mexico and Costa Rica in the first two games of the final round of World Cup qualifying.
With a roster of players primarily from Major League Soccer, the Americans open a training camp at Carson, California, on January 10 and play Serbia on January 29 at San Diego. The full player pool returns for qualifiers on March 24 at home against Honduras and four days later at Panama.
