In a nod to its relationship with the US, the national team will be holding a parade on the campus of the University of Georgia to commemorate the occasion.

The USA football team will hold its final game of the regular season against Alabama at the Georgia Dome, with the team heading back to the Georgia coast for the national championship.

The Georgia-USC rivalry was created when Georgia was awarded the football team in 1952 and the rivalry is alive and well in the state.

The teams play once every two years, but the teams are set to play a football championship game on April 7.
