Houston Dynamo defender DaMarcus Beasley has been called in to the United States Men’s National Team ahead of next week’s FIFA World Cup qualifying matches, U.S. Soccer announced today.

Beasley is the fifth Dynamo player to be called in for national team duty, after defender Adolfo Machado was called by Panama and forwards Alberth Elis and Romell Quioto and midfielder Boniek García were called by Honduras.

Beasley will join the Stars and Stripes following the Dynamo game on Saturday night. Houston travels to Portland for its first away game of the season this weekend to face the Portland Timbers at 9:30 p.m. CST. That game will be televised live on KUBE TV Ch. 57, with the pregame show starting at 9:00 p.m.

The United States will host Honduras on Friday, March 24 in San Jose, California and will face Panama on Tuesday, March 28 at Estadio Rommel Fernádez in Panama City, Panama. The USMNT is seeking to qualify to their eighth consecutive World Cup.

Beasley is the only American man to have played in four FIFA World Cups and ranks on seventh in USMNT history with 124 caps, while being tied with Earnie Stewart in ninth place among goalscorers with 17 goals.
