World Cup History

The United States has participated in 11 FIFA World Cups since 1930, with their best finish coming in 1930 (third place) and a Round of 16 appearance in 2014. The USMNT has steadily grown in strength and global recognition, especially after hosting the 1994 World Cup.

In recent years, the USA has developed a golden generation of players competing in top European leagues, including Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, Tyler Adams, and Gio Reyna. This youth movement has created unprecedented excitement around American soccer.

The 2022 World Cup saw the USA advance from a difficult group before losing to the Netherlands in the Round of 16, showcasing the team's growing competitiveness on the world stage.

The home crowd support, familiarity with venues, and lack of travel will give the USMNT significant advantages. Can Pulisic and the golden generation deliver America's first World Cup quarterfinal appearance since 2002? The pressure is on to perform in front of packed stadiums across the country.
