The United States national team will play rival Mexico in an April 2 friendly in Glendale, Ariz.

The match is set to start at 10 p.m. ET, and tickets will go on sale Feb. 19, according to the University of Phoenix Stadium box office website.

The match could be in conflict with the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions League semifinals, but the federations apparently have agreed to work around those matches.

The last time the USA played in the Phoenix area was a January 2012 win against Venezuela. Mexico played a 2013 friendly against Denmark.
