Today, the highlight match will feature the United States facing Trinidad and Tobago at 4:00 PM. The American squad, under the guidance of Mauricio Pochettino, is eager to present a stronger performance after struggling to meet expectations since the Argentine’s arrival last year. Notably, Pochettino must contend with the absence of key players due to injuries and personal reasons, including Milan star Christian Pulisic.
The day’s matches will include Haiti vs. Saudi Arabia and Costa Rica vs. Suriname, rounding off the games for Groups A and B as the tournament progresses. Notably, Saudi Arabia is a guest team this year and is considered a strong contender to advance, alongside the United States.

In Group A, Mexico will also face Costa Rica, managed by Miguel Herrera, a seasoned coach with a history of championships in Liga MX.
