USMNT Heading to Scotland for 4-Nations Tournament at End of June

GLASGOW, Scotland – The No. 22 U.S. Men’s National Team will head to Scotland for a 4-Nations Tournament at the end of June to compete against No. 13 Ireland, No. 17 Wales and No. 20 Scotland.

“The squad selected for this event is a good mix of experienced senior and emerging younger players,” said Harry Singh, USMNT’s Head Coach. “For some, this will be their first time with the senior team on an international tour. The Scotland tour and 4-Nations Tournament will provide an opportunity to showcase our progress to lead to the 2023 Pan American Games. I am looking for more depth in the team and an opportunity to gauge ourselves against highly competitive teams which we will face during the competition.”
