CHICAGO: The US Soccer Federation plans to announce its World Cup roster on November 9.

Kay Bradley, the USSF's director of marketing, said on Thursday the federation is planning to have coach Gregg Berhalter announce the roster during an event in New York.

The US is returning to the World Cup after missing the 2018 tournament. 

At this year's World Cup in Qatar, the 14th-ranked Americans open against No. 19 Wales on November 21, face No. 5 England in a Black Friday matchup, and finish the first round against No. 22 Iran on November 29.

Two exhibitions remain before the World Cup: against 24th-ranked Japan on September 23 at Düsseldorf, Germany; and No. 53 Saudi Arabia in a friendly four days later in Murcia, Spain.
