U.S.-Mexico Soccer Game Rescheduled for Oct. 10 at Rose Bowl

The U.S.-Mexico men’s soccer game at the Rose Bowl to decide the region’s representative in the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup has been rescheduled for Oct. 10, one day later than originally planned.

The new date will allow fans to participate in pregame festivities that will include “Futbol Fiesta,” an interactive fan zone outside the stadium, CONCACAF announced Friday. The opening kickoff is set for 6 p.m.

Tickets will be available to the general public in September. Participating member associations and their supporter groups will be able to purchase tickets in advance of the public sale.

In April 2013, the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football, soccer’s governing body for the region, announced the split of the region’s berth in the Confederations Cup between the champions of the two editions of the CONCACAF Gold Cup, assuring both editions of the region’s national team championship in each four-year cycle have the same importance from a competitive perspective.

Mexico qualified for a spot in the playoff game with a 3-1 victory over Jamaica in the final of the CONCACAF Gold Cup July 26. The U.S. won the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup and finished fourth this year.

The Oct. 10 game between the U.S. and Mexico will be the first between the teams at the Rose Bowl since June 25, 2011, when Mexico defeated the U.S., 4-2, in the CONCACAF Gold Cup final. Mexico overcame an early two-goal deficit before a predominately pro-Mexico capacity crowd announced at 93,420.

The FIFA Confederations Cup is played every four years in the year before the World Cup in the host nation of the World Cup. Its eight-team field consists of the champion of each of soccer’s six regional federations, the reigning World Cup champion and the host nation, which in 2017 will be Russia.
