Fifa, US Soccer and the Concacaf federation will have to authorise the matches, which could prove problematic if they are viewed as impacting on tournaments already in the country, such as Major League Soccer.
The board of US Soccer held a meeting yesterday in which the issue was raised. It is understood that some figures in the organisation have reservations about the prospect of league fixtures from another country being played in the US.
