This will be the first time Red Bull Arena, home of the New York Red Bulls of Major League Soccer, will host a World Cup Qualifier. The U.S.’s last visit to the stadium was incidentally a 1-0 friendly victory over Costa Rica on Oct. 13, 2015. The U.S. lost to Costa Rica 4-0 on the road in November’s World Cup qualifying round, one in a series of losses that led to the firing of former national team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann.

The Americans also defeated Costa Rica 2-0 in Saturday’s CONCACAF Gold Cup semifinal in Arlington, Texas.

After their game on Sept. 1, the USMNT will travel to face Honduras on Sept. 5 in San Pedro Sula and will host Panama on Oct. 6.
