The U.S. under-23 national men’s soccer team will meet its Mexican counterpart at StubHub Center in Carson on April 22 as both teams prepare for this fall’s Olympic qualifying tournament.

The U.S. failed to make the last Summer Games in London in 2012; Mexico won the tournament, capturing its first Olympic gold medal in soccer.

Tickets for April’s game will go on sale Thursday at 10 a.m. online or by phone at (888) 929-7849 and at noon at the StubHub Center box office.
