Because the game is being played outside a FIFA international window, the team is primarily a domestic one with only defender Sergiño Dest of Italy’s AC Milan and midfielder Alan Soñora of Mexico’s FC Juárez coming from outside MLS or the USL Championship.

In addition to Long and Acosta, eight other veterans of the World Cup team were summoned, among then Seattle forward Jordan Morris, who leads MLS with eight goals in seven matches. Nine players will enter training camp with fewer than five USMNT caps.

“We are delighted with the group we have put together,” interim U.S. coach Anthony Hudson said. “Anytime you get to play against your closest rivals it’s a special opportunity, and we have players who understand what this rivalry is all about.”

Mexico is coming off its worst World Cup appearance since 1978, getting shut out twice while going out in the group stage in Qatar, a performance that cost coach Tata Martino his job. El Tri beat Suriname and drew Jamaica in Nations League play last month in its first two games under new coach Diego Cocca.

The U.S. is unbeaten in its last four games with Mexico, winning the last three meetings at home.
