Who is playing in New York/New Jersey? FIFA World Cup squads so far
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is coming to New York/New Jersey. Here are the teams scheduled to play in the region and the squads announced so far.
Shocking decisions
Dig deeper:
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.
