The U.S. men's national team is making plans to hold its January training camp in Qatar, the host country for the 2022 World Cup, a source confirmed to ESPN.

Yahoo Sports was first to report the news.

The source also confirmed that no agreement has been finalized, though manager Gregg Berhalter did visit the country following the most recent international window. If the deal does go through, the U.S. is hoping to play a friendly in Qatar before returning stateside for another match.

The trip to Qatar would allow the U.S. to familiarize itself with a host of logistical issues, including training sites, stadiums, hotels and transportation.

The U.S. has long held the annual get-together in Southern California, usually in the Los Angeles area. It has usually featured MLS players just getting back to fitness ahead of their league seasons. But in terms of location, exceptions have been made in the past. In 2014, then-U.S. manager Jurgen Klinsmann opted to hold part of the camp in Sao Paulo ahead of that year's World Cup, which Brazil hosted.

Most recently, Berhalter held his first camp as U.S. manager at the Elite Athlete Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif., just outside of San Diego.
