Wales to face USA in Swansea

Wales will face USA at Liberty Stadium next month, re-arranging a fixture that was cancelled in March due to the pandemic.

This will be Gregg Berhalter’s side’s first game since February when they beat Costa Rica 1-0 in Carson, California at the LA Galaxy Stadium.

The match will take place on November 12th.

FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION OF WALES PRESS RELEASE

Ryan Giggs’ squad will take on the Americans on Thursday 12 November, ahead of their final two UEFA Nations League Group B4 fixtures against Republic of Ireland on Sunday 15 November and Finland on Wednesday 18 November at Cardiff City Stadium.

This will be only the second meeting between the nations and the first on Welsh soil. The previous encounter took place in 2003 at Spartan Stadium in San Jose under Mark Hughes’ tenure, which ended in a 2-0 defeat.

In June, the FIFA Council approved for this year’s October and November international windows to be extended to allow all UEFA nations to play three games to cover for the postponement of fixtures in March owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Wales’ remaining 2020 fixtures are as follows:

Wales v USA – Thursday 12 November (19:45 KO)
Wales v Republic of Ireland – Sunday 15 November (17:00 KO)
Wales v Finland – Wednesday 18 November (19:45 KO)
