Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - The U.S. men's national team will visit Mexico on Aug. 15 for a friendly at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City.

The United States has never won in Mexico, losing 23 times against one draw in 24 all-time meetings. The Americans last played a friendly in Mexico in 1984.

"Mexico has proven to be one of the top teams in the world in the moment, so for us this is a huge opportunity," said U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann.

"The U.S. and Mexico have a very special rivalry, and the chance to be challenged in an environment like Estadio Azteca in Mexico City will be another important experience for the development of our players."

Mexico holds a 32-15-12 edge in the all-time series against the United States.
