Topline:
Tickets to the U.S. Men’s National training session in Irvine next month will be distributed at 10 a.m. Friday.
About the event: The session will take place from 9:30 a.m. to noon, June 8, at the Great Park in Irvine. It’s a free event, but tickets are required. Due to the high demand, tickets will be distributed through a random lottery process, according to the city of Irvine.
How will I know if I’ve been picked? You must be registered to be considered in the lottery. Winners will receive an email with instructions to log in and claim the tickets within 72 hours. If they are not claimed within that window, the tickets will be released.
If you’re not picked in the first round: You’ll receive a notification email saying so, but don’t worry, you might have another chance. Tickets not claimed by 10 a.m. June 1 will be randomly distributed again on June 2.
The background: USA will play against Paraguay at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood for their first match in the 2026 World Cup on June 12.
