The United States will travel to Germany to face coach Juergen Klinsmann's former team in a June 2015 friendly, while a game against the Netherlands has also been confirmed.

US Soccer said on Sunday they had lined up seven friendlies for the opening six months of next year with a trip to the Netherlands on 5 June.

The United States will face Germany five days later, marking the third time Klinsmann has faced his home country.

Germany enjoyed a 1-0 win in the group stage of the World Cup in Brazil while a year earlier, the United States scored a 4-3 friendly win in Washington DC.

The year starts with a visit to Chile on 28 January before a home game against Panama on 8 February.

March sees the United States head to Europe to play Denmark and Switzerland before a 15 April clash with traditional rivals Mexico.

The Americans will be in action in the Concacaf Gold Cup in July.
