The United States are co-hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup alongside Canada and Mexico, and the tournament is expected to accelerate the rapid growth of the game in North America. The USMNT reached the quarter-finals at the 1930 inaugural World Cup and the round of 16 in 2002 and 2014. MLS has grown significantly in stature, and the current generation — featuring Christian Pulisic — are among the most talented in US football history.
