Team USA loves playing matches in Orlando. They are 7-2 all time in The City Beautiful including a perfect 6-0 mark at Inter & Co Stadium. This will mark their first match at Camping World Stadium since 1998 when they beat Sweden 1-0.
In recent history, Team USA beat El Salvador in the Concacaf Nations League Finals in Orlando in 2023 and also beat Panama 5-1 back in 2022 in a World Cup qualifier.
"We're gonna need that Orlando magic against Brazil, right? Hoping that Orlando comes through for us again."
