The upcoming friendly match is particularly significant as it comes after the USMNT has remained undefeated in the city through six matches, achieving an extraordinary record of six consecutive shutouts.
Located in Austin, Q2 Stadium has become a fortress for the USMNT since its opening less than five years ago. Among the five cities in the U.S. where the USMNT holds an unbeaten record after at least five matches, Austin stands out alongside Arlington, Texas, which boasts the longest unbeaten streak of seven games at AT&T Stadium.
The USMNT’s success in Austin is underscored by their notable performance during these six matches, where they have scored a total of 14 goals while conceding none. Striker Ricardo Pepi and forward Jesús Ferreira have been key contributors, netting eight of the 14 goals combined, each scoring four. Pepi, who hails from El Paso, Texas, and Ferreira, who spent his formative years in Dallas, both rose through the ranks of the FC Dallas Academy.
The past match played by the USMNT in Austin was a 1-0 victory over Saudi Arabia during the Gold Cup group stage in June.

Averaging over 18,000 attendees across the games at Q2 Stadium, the venue has hosted three international competitions, including the Concacaf Gold Cup, Concacaf Nations League, and FIFA World Qualifiers.
This upcoming match will be the second friendly the USMNT has played in Austin, the first being under newly appointed head coach Mauricio Pochettino, marking his first game and win in October 2024.
