Amongst the nations in action on Friday are Argentina, Mexico, Italy, Portugal, USA and Jamaica.
Lionel Messi could be fit for Argentina’s clash with Colombia, despite an injury which interrupted his season with Barcelona in the closing months, prior to ending his season early.
Argentina has been keeping a close eye on his fitness and it looks promising.
The Barcelona forward was cleared to feature in the contest.
“The player has been given the medical all-clear,” said a statement released by Barcelona said on Friday.
“His leg is OK. He looks quick and capable of taking on defenders, but we need to see how fit he is after so long without playing,” Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella said of Messi.
Elsewhere, a very talented Belgium side will tackle Serbia, the Czech Republic will host Italy, Jamaica are desperate for a win and seek that at home against the United States, while Javier Hernandez and Mexico look to build on their last win when they take on Panama.
Live games will be on ESPN, beIN Sport USA, One World Sports, GolTV USA, Telemundo, Sky Sports 1 Ireland.
