Details
International Arena Soccer is coming back to Boise with some of indoor soccer’s best players for an international friendly when the U.S. National Arena Soccer Team (USNAST) hosts Team Mexico on Friday, Aug. 27 at Idaho Central Arena.
Arena soccer is high-scoring and incorporates many elements familiar to hockey. The playing surface is surrounded by the boards and glass used during Steelheads games, players change on-the-fly and are limited to 5-on-5 with one goaltender, and some penalties will result in man-advantage situations.
The international meeting between Team USA and Team Mexico will be the third in Boise since 2018, once again showcasing some of North America’s top indoor talent. Team Mexico defeated Team USA, 5-2, during their last meeting in 2019 to level their history in Boise after Team USA won 3-2 over Team Mexico in the 2018 tournament championship game.
Team USA marks their fourth summer in Boise since 2017, returning to Idaho Central Arena for their third friendly event. Team USA made their Treasure Valley debut on Aug. 11, 2017 in a sold-out international friendly against Team Brazil then won an international friendly tournament with Team Mexico, Team Columbia and Team Somalia in 2018 prior to their last meeting with Team Mexico.
