The United States will host Turkey here on May 29 in the Americans’ last tuneup before departing for the World Cup in South Africa.
The match will be held at Lincoln Financial Field, home of the National Football League’s Philadelphia Eagles and one of the sites included in the US bid for the 2018 or 2022 World Cup.
Turkey, who reached the 2002 World Cup semi-finals, failed to advance to this year’s tournament, finishing behind Spain and Bosnia-Herzegovina in their European qualifying group.
The United States are preparing for their sixth straight World Cup appearance. They host El Salvador in a friendly in February 24 in Tampa, Florida, and will add their European-based players to the squad for a Marc 3 match in the Netherlands.
The Americans will face England on June 12 in their opener in South Africa and also face Slovenia and Algeria in the first round.
