Seattle will host six matches, including two in the knockout round and one of the three U.S. group stage matches.

During the broadcast of the announcement Sunday, U.S. Men's National Team Head Coach Gregg Berhalter responded to the news:

"Then thinking about Seattle with its rich fan culture, loud atmosphere in the stadium. I can already picture our bus driving to the stadium, weaving through the city and having the march to the match, seeing the fans. It's going to be an incredible atmosphere."
