• The Starting XI represents clubs in eight different countries: England, Germany and Spain (2 each), Belgium, France, Italy, Netherlands and Portugal (1 each).

• Zack Steffen captains the USMNT for the fourth time tonight. He last wore the armband in the 0-0 draw with Wales on Nov. 12, 2020 in Swansea.

• Both Christian Pulisic and Josh Sargent make their long-awaited returns for the USMNT. Pulisic last appeared in the Concacaf Nations League away match at Canada on Oct. 15, 2019. Sargent’s last run-out for the USMNT came about a month later, when he bagged two goals in the team’s 4-0 win against Cuba to round out Nations League group play on Nov. 19, 2019 in the Cayman Islands.

• John Brooks and Aaron Long partner in central defense for the third time tonight. The veteran defenders have helped the USA to wins in each of their previous matches together – a 1-0 win against Ecuador on March 22, 2019 and 4-1 Concacaf Nations League win against Canada on Nov. 15, 2019.

• Kellyn Acosta, Sebastian Lletget and Aaron Long all played in the USA’s first match of the year, a 7-0 win against Trinidad & Tobago on Jan. 31 in Orlando.

• The youngest player on the roster, 18-year-old midfielder Yunus Musah earns his third cap and first since committing to the USMNT on March 15.

• Fellow 18-year-old Gio Reyna also earns his third cap. The Borussia Dortmund attacker scored his first international goal at Stadion Wiener Neustadt, putting home the USA’s opening goal via a direct free kick in the 6-2 win against Panama on Nov. 16, 2020.

• Four substitutes have the chance to make their USMNT debuts tonight: forward Jordan Siebatcheu, midfielder Christian Cappis, defender Bryan Reynolds and goalkeeper Chituru Odunze.

• Jordan Siebatcheu will wear the name “Pefok” on the back of his jersey, which is his mother’s maiden name.

• Reserve defender Chris Richards made his USMNT debut at Stadion Wiener Neustadt, coming off the bench to close out the 6-2 win against Panama last November.

• Substitutes Erik Palmer-Brown and Luca de la Torre will seek their first USMNT appearances in nearly three years. Palmer-Brown last played in the USA’s 1-1 draw with France on June 9, 2018 in Lyon, while de la Torre’s last cap was actually his debut, coming off the bench in a 2-1 defeat to Ireland a week prior.

• Tonight’s game is a rematch of the 2019 Concacaf Gold Cup semifinal on July 3, 2019 in Nashville. Weston McKennie opened the scoring and Christian Pulisic delivered a second-half brace in the 3-1 win against the Reggae Boyz.

• Gregg Berhalter holds a 15-5-3 record as USMNT head coach and is 1-1-0 against Jamaica.  

• The USMNT is 16-3-8 all-time against Jamaica. This is the first time the two sides have met on neutral soil.With the USMNT dressing 23 players, three players did not dress tonight: defender Matt Miazga, midfielder Owen Otasowie and forward Daryl Dike.
