Mexico has aggressive plans for the US in 2021: The Mexican national team plans to play 5 friendlies in the U.S. in 2021 in addition to as many as 2 Nations League games, 6 Gold Cup matches and a World Cup qualifier. That means @miseleccionmxEN would play as many as 14 times in the U.S., mostly in late spring/early summer.— Kevin Baxter 🇺🇦🏳️🌈 (@kbaxter11) March 12, 2021
Canada moved their WCQ match with Bermuda to Orlando. World Cup Qualifying March 25th, 2021 Canada 5-1 Bermuda Exploria Stadium, Orlando, FL
