The Americans own a record of 2–2 with three drawn
against La Celeste, the most recent meeting a 1–1 draw in 2019 at St. Louis.
US coach Gregg Berhalter’s squad will begin their
training matches on June 1 at Cincinnati against Morocco before meeting an
Uruguay lineup featuring all-time leading scorer
Luis Suarez of Atletico Madrid
and Edinson Cavani of Manchester United.
“We’re looking forward to facing another high-level
opponent that is also preparing for the World Cup. Uruguay has some world-class
talent and is one of the top teams in South America,” Berhalter said.
“These are the
kinds of opportunities we need to continue to grow as a group and set ourselves
up to be successful in
Qatar.”
After hosting the South American squad, the
Americans will host Grenada in a CONCACAF Nations League match on June 10 at
Austin, Texas, and visit El Salvador four days later.
Uruguay reached the 2018 World Cup quarter-finals,
losing to eventual champion France. The Uruguayans were drawn into this year’s
Group H with Ghana, South Korea, and Portugal.
The US will play in Group B against
England, Iran, and
either Scotland, Wales, or Ukraine.
