Copa América is “a building block toward 2026,” the U.S. men’s soccer coach said Tuesday in a meeting with Washington Post reporters and editors.
Players have started to arrive in Washington for the beginning of U.S. men’s national soccer team training camp — from clubs in England and Germany, Netherlands and France. Many more will report this weekend, plus a straggler from Belgium early next week.
A group that has grown close over the past five years — through highs and lows at the 2022 World Cup and mostly highs at several regional competitions — will reconstitute for an extended camp before an important summer.
