The U.S. national team has scheduled a friendly against Canada on June 3. Toronto's BMO Field will host the Americans' first match on Canadian soil since 1997.
The friendly, and three subsequent FIFA World Cup qualifiers, mark the Canadian Soccer Association's 100th anniversary.
"First of all, we are honored to be chosen to be part of Canada's Centenary Celebration," said U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann. "This is exactly the type of challenge we are looking for as we grow the team and get ready for the start of World Cup qualifying. There is a great history in the rivalry, and Canada is a team we could see in the final round of qualifying. It's a win-win for everybody."
The United States holds a 13-8-9 record against the Canucks, but only a 3-6-1 record in Canada.
“2012, the Canadian Soccer Association’s centennial year, is a crucial season for our team as we continue towards our goal of qualifying for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil,” said Canada coach Stephen Hart. “We will need the full support of the Canadian soccer community as we work towards the collective goal of reaching a FIFA World Cup.”
