TICKETS: FC Dallas Home Opener, pres. by AdvoCare

Tickets to the match at Toyota Stadium go on sale at 10 a.m., Friday, Feb. 5, starting at $20 for general admission.

Last October, the USA won its three first-round games in the CONCACAF Men’s Olympic Qualifying Championship before falling in its semifinal match against Honduras. The U-23s bounced back and won the third-place match against Canada to earn a place in the playoff. Colombia finished in second place in the 2015 South American Youth championship.

The U.S. is looking to return to the Olympics for the first time since 2008 in Beijing, when it posted a 1-1-1 record, but did not advance from a group that included Gold medalists Nigeria. The USA’s best showing in the Olympics came during the 2000 games in Sydney, when the team defeated Japan in the quarterfinals and finished fourth in the event.

FC Dallas goalkeeper Chris Seitz was a member of the 2008 U.S. Olympic squad, while Dallas midfielder and Plano-native Kellyn Acosta is expected to be among the current Olympic hopefuls.
