Orlando City's Justin Ellis Scores in USMNT Debut
The United States Men's National Team hosts Peru on Saturday at Inter.co Stadium in Orlando, Florida, with 16-year-old Cavan Sullivan making his senior debut in the international friendly.
Manager Mauricio Pochettino, signed for four years, leads the USMNT through the 2030 World Cup cycle while testing new talent for the 2028 Olympic roster on home soil.
At 16, Sullivan becomes the fourth-youngest player to debut for the USMNT, behind only Freddy Adu, Mike Slivinski, and Mark Jonas, while joining three other Philadelphia or Union-connected starters.
Broadcast coverage includes TNT and Sling TV packages, with the friendly allowing 11 substitutions to give manager Pochettino flexibility to evaluate his full squad during the international window.
Upcoming matches against Chile, Mexico, and Canada continue the organization's four-game fall schedule, prioritizing development of the next generation of international soccer talent for future cycles.
The United States team marked the beginning of a new cycle under Argentine Mauricio Pochettino this Saturday with a 4-1 victory over Peru, in a friendly match played at the Inter.Co stadium in Orlando.
