- The Starting XI averages 14 caps and 13 in official competition. The lineup has an average age of 25 years, 185 days.
- Mauricio Pochettino makes four changes to the Starting XI that faced Saudi Arabia on Thursday, inserting Brenden Aaronson, Tyler Adams, Quinn Sullivan and John Tolkin. It marks the first career Gold Cup starts for each of Aaronson, Adams and Sullivan, while Tolkin earns his second overall start in the confederation championship and also his first USMNT start since that match, a 1-1 draw with Jamaica on June 24, 2023 in Chicago.
- Seven starters are 25 or younger: Chris Richards (25); Brenden Aaronson, Patrick Agyemang(24); Malik Tillman (23); John Tolkin (22); Quinn Sullivan (21); Alex Freeman (20).
- Defender Alex Freeman becomes just the second USMNT player 20 years or younger to start all three Gold Cup group stage matches. The first was 20-year-old Chris Henderson, who got the start in each of the team’s group games at the inaugural 1991 Gold Cup.
- Fresh off his second career goal, Chris Richards pairs with Tim Ream in central defense for the 13th time tonight.
- Center back Tim Ream captains the USMNT for the 18th time tonight. The USA is 11W-5L-1D when Ream wears the armband. Ream is also the only starter with experience against Haiti, coming in the 1-0 win against Les Grenadiers in the team’s second Gold Cup group stage match on July 10, 2015 in Foxborough, Mass.
- Tyler Adams makes another appearance at AT&T Stadium, the same venue where he scored his memorable, long-distance rocket in the 2-0 win against Mexico to claim the 2023-24 Concacaf Nations League title.
- Coming off his 50th international appearance on Thursday, Brenden Aaronson makes his first start in official competition since the Concacaf Nations League Quarterfinal second leg at Trinidad and Tobago on Nov. 20, 2023.
- Goalkeeper Matt Freese starts his third-straight match, riding a two-game shutout streak. Should Freese keep another clean sheet tonight, he would become the first USMNT goalkeeper to collect three shutouts in the same Gold Cup group stage.
- Luca de la Torre starts four-straight matches and Malik Tillman starts three-straight, each for the first time in their international careers.
- Striker Patrick Agyemang will remain the only player to appear in all nine matches in 2025. The first-year USMNT striker has four goals in his first eight appearances.
- In accordance with the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup Tournament Regulations, teams are permitted to dress 23 players. The three players note dressed tonight are Chris Brady, Damion Downs and Haji Wright.
- The USMNT is 7W-6L-5D in 18 all-time meetings with Haiti and 3W-0L-1D in four Gold Cup matches. The USA is unbeaten in its last nine matches against Les Grenadiers, going 4W-0L-5D over a timespan that dates back to a 0-0 draw on Nov. 10, 1976 in Port-au-Prince.
