United States

The USA have been a consistent presence in World Cup football since the 1990s, when they hosted the 1994 tournament and reached the Round of 16. Their most celebrated modern moment came at the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan, where they reached the quarter-finals — defeating Portugal and Mexico along the way.

A new generation has transformed the USMNT's standing in world football. Players like Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, Tyler Adams, and Gio Reyna are all established at top European clubs, and the squad that reached the Round of 16 at Qatar 2022 is still developing. On home soil in 2026 the USMNT reached the round of 16, matching their 2022 run, before Belgium ended it 4-1.

White, red, and blue — the colours of the Stars and Stripes worn with American pride. The USMNT's home kit has evolved significantly over the decades, with Nike producing increasingly bold and creative designs that reflect the growing confidence of American football.

Their kits have become increasingly popular globally as the USMNT's profile has risen, and the Stars and Stripes identity is one of the most recognisable in CONCACAF football.
