Inter Miami CF’s World-Class Florida Blue Training Center to Welcome The U.S. Men’s National Team Annual January Camp Starting Tomorrow
Inter Miami CF stars Drake Callender and Benjamín Cremaschi have been selected for the USMNT’s first January camp under Argentine head coach Mauricio Pochettino. With a massive year of important official competitions on the horizon, they join 22 other players at Inter Miami’s world-class Florida Blue Training Center for this annual showcase opportunity.
Midfielder Cremaschi initially starred at the youth levels prior to making his full debut for the USMNT senior side in September 2023. The Homegrown midfielder has also gained experience representing his country at several major tournaments, including being the youngest member on the USA’s roster for the 2024 Paris Summer Olympic Games and being key in the U-19 MYNT Slovenia Nations Cup triumph in September 2022.
Goalkeeper Callender returns to the national team setup after initially earning his first USMNT call up in April 2023. Notably, he was part of the squad that clinched a third consecutive Concacaf Nations League title for the USMNT in 2024.
2025 is a critical year for the USMNT program which includes the Concacaf Nations League Finals and the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup, the last opportunities for players to showcase their abilities in tournament conditions before the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be hosted in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
The training camp begins on Jan. 7 at Florida Blue Training Center. The Inter Miami state-of-the-art facilities have hosted the Men’s 2022 FIFA World Cup Champions, the Argentina National Team, LaLiga giant, FC Barcelona, the 2024 Olympic Champions, the United States of America Women’s National Team, and more. The Florida Blue Training Center is a 50,000-square-foot complex featuring six natural grass fields and one turf field, designed to support both professional and youth players. The training center sits adjacent to the Club’s 21,500-capacity Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale.
The USMNT will then open its 2025 schedule against 2024 Copa América quarterfinalists Venezuela on Jan. 18 at Inter Miami’s Chase Stadium in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. Kickoff for the USA’s first match of the year is set for 3 p.m. ET. Fans interested in attending the match can purchase tickets here). The match will be broadcast live on TNT, Telemundo, Universo, Max and Peacock, with Spanish-language audio available on Fútbol de Primera radio.
