The USA opens the tournament against Spain on Feb. 10 before facing El Salvador on Feb. 11 and closing out the competition against Mexico on Feb. 12.
Spain and Mexico are familiar foes for the U.S., having played against both teams in the 2011 Miami Cup. Mexico won its match 7-6, while the U.S. edged out Spain 1-0 on penalty kicks after tying 3-3.
