CHICAGO – U.S. Soccer has selected Rio Tinto Stadium to host the USA’s World Cup Qualifying tune-up on June 3 against Venezuela. Kickoff at Rio Tinto Stadium, is set for 8 p.m. MT, and the match will be broadcast live on FS1, Univision and UDN (with a pregame show on UDN starting at 7 p.m. MT). Fans can also follow the game live on Twitter at @ussoccer and @ussoccer_esp, and Facebook.
The match against Venezuela comes at a critical time for the United States, just five days before a key home World Cup Qualifier against Trinidad & Tobago in Denver followed by a visit to the famed Estadio Azteca in Mexico City.
“Salt Lake City has always been a fantastic host for the National Team,” U.S. MNT head coach Bruce Arena said. “When you combine the elements of the fan support, the stadium and the altitude, it’s a perfect match as we prepare for the critical World Cup Qualifiers against Trinidad & Tobago and Mexico.”
