The camp, which runs from Jan. 6-Feb. 1, will be conducted across two continents. After six days in California, a 23-player group will base in Sao Paulo from Jan. 13-25 to give the players and staff a dry run of this summer's tournament in Brazil.

The camp culminates with a friendly against Korea Republic on Feb. 1 in Carson, Calif.
