The U.S. will meet Turkey at Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field
on May 29 in the Americans' last warmup match before leaving for
the World Cup.
The NFL's Eagles, the stadium's primary tenant, has called a
Wednesday news conference to announce the game. The stadium is
among the sites included in the U.S. bid for the 2018 or 2022 World
Cups.
The U.S., preparing for its sixth straight World Cup
appearance, hosts El Salvador on Feb. 24 at Tampa, Fla., with an
all-Major League Soccer roster, then will add Europe-based players
for a March 3 match at the Netherlands.
At the World Cup in South Africa, the U.S. opens June 12
against England, plays Slovenia six days later and completes the
first round against Algeria on June 23.
