The United States revealed a 26-man roster for the 2026 FIFA World Cup at a live fan event in Manhattan. The goalkeeper group includes Matt Turner, Matt Freese, and Chris Brady. Center backs include Chris Richards, Tim Ream, Mark McKenzie, Auston Trusty, Miles Robinson, Antonee Robinson, Sergiño Dest, Alex Freeman, Joe Scally, and Max Arfsten. Midfielders include Tyler Adams, Weston McKennie, Cristian Roldan, and Sebastian Berhalter. Forwards include Christian Pulisic, Tim Weah, Malik Tillman, Gio Reyna, Brenden Aaronson, Alejandro Zendejas, Folarin Balogun, Ricardo Pepi, and Haji Wright. Gio Reyna drew attention due to limited club playing time and prior off-field drama, while Diego Luna was not selected due to a reported muscle injury.
"The name that has social media on fire right now is Gio Reyna, who hasn't played much for his club team in Germany this year. He was involved in some major off-the-field drama during the last World Cup in 2022."
"Pochettino also surprised everyone by bringing only four experienced midfielders, including 25-year-old Sebastian Berhalter, who is the son of the former U.S. head coach, Gregg Berhalter."
"A name that unexpectedly didn't make the roster this year was 22-year-old Diego Luna, who has become a massive fan favorite. He has reportedly been dealing with a muscle injury."
"Official 2026 U.S. Men's National Team Roster Goalkeepers: Matt Turner (New England Revolution), Matt Freese (New York City FC), Chris Brady (Chicago Fire). Center backs: Chris Richards (Crystal Palace), Tim Ream (Charlotte FC), Mark McKenzie (Toulouse), Auston Trusty (Celtic), Miles Robinson (FC Cincinnati), Antonee Robinson (Fulham), Sergiño Dest (PSV Eindhoven), Alex Freeman (Villarreal), Joe Scally (Borussia Mönchengladbach), Max Arfsten (Columbus Crew)."
