The United States of America will host Belgium in an international friendly at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Saturday. Both sides have qualified for the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026, with the USA being one of the co-hosts, and the game will serve as a warm-up clash.
Team USA have been in good form under former Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino, winning their last three friendly matches and remaining unbeaten in the last five. Their last outing was a 5-1 thumping of Uruguay in November 2025.
However, the hosts have a poor record at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, losing their only international fixture on the ground – a 2-1 defeat to Panama in 2024. The USMNT also haven’t had the best luck against European opponents, losing six straight games since the 2021 win over Northern Ireland.
Belgium, meanwhile, have been undergoing a transitional phase, with most of their “golden generation” having left the international stage. Head coach Rudi Garcia has assembled a strong team full of young talent, and the Red Devils have lost just once in the last year.
Belgium have long been considered a dark horse in the World Cup, but they have failed to achieve anything close to their potential. They have been drawn in a relatively easy group in this edition, featuring Egypt, Iran and New Zealand. A positive warm-up campaign will see Belgium enter the 2026 World Cup as one of the more fancied sides.
USA have a few notable injury absentees before the upcoming match. Defender Tyler Adams has been ruled out with a medial collateral ligament injury. Other players missing out include Haji Wright Haji Wright (groin injury), Sergino Dest (hamstring injury), and Roman Celentano (knock).
Belgium, too, have a few big names missing. Napoli striker Romelu Lukaku was forced to withdraw from the squad with a hamstring injury. Hans Vanacken and Leandro Trossard are also out with injuries.
Questions also remain over the availability of Thibaut Courtois. The Real Madrid goalkeeper suffered a thigh injury during the UEFA Champions League match against Manchester City. If he does not pass the fitness test, Manchester United’s Senne Lammens will likely start between the sticks.
USA and Belgium have faced each other six times in international football. USA won the first meeting between the two sides in the inaugural FIFA World Cup in 1930. Since then, Belgium have won five successive meetings, including a thrilling 2-1 victory in the 2014 World Cup.
