The USA face Portugal at Mercedes‑Benz Stadium in Atlanta without Cristiano Ronaldo, who is not playing today in Atlanta despite a positive injury update. His absence shifts the focus to Portugal’s depth and attacking alternatives heading into this international friendly.

The USMNT, meanwhile, look to respond after a difficult 5–2 loss to Belgium, with head coach Mauricio Pochettino expected to adjust his approach after an attacking setup that backfired in the previous match.

Historically, the matchup has been tight, with both teams recording two draws and no wins. This friendly offers both sides an opportunity to test adjustments, evaluate depth, and build momentum ahead of future competitions. Follow USA vs Portugal live with us!
