The United States men's national soccer team will soon learn which 26 players will wear the stars and stripes in Qatar, a moment that will be aired live on Fox at 3 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday. The announcement comes after a year of experimentation by head coach Mauricio Pochettino, who has been testing a range of formations and lineups in friendlies and training camps.
Pochettino's approach has been methodical, using each match to evaluate talent and chemistry. The process reflects a broader effort to blend youthful energy with seasoned experience, ensuring the squad can compete on the world stage.
A Milestone for North American Soccer
The tournament itself begins in just over two weeks and will be staged across 16 venues in three countries — the United States, Mexico and Canada. This marks the first World Cup to be hosted on home soil since 1994, a milestone that underscores the growth of soccer in the region.
The 1994 World Cup ignited a lasting interest in the sport, paving the way for the creation of Major League Soccer and a surge in youth participation. Today, that foundation is being tested as the tournament returns to the continent, promising a new generation of fans and players.
Fans will watch the live roster reveal on Fox, eager to see how Pochettino's selections shape the team's strategy. The upcoming matches will be held in venues ranging from coast‑to‑coast in the United States to vibrant cities in Mexico and Canada, offering a unique blend of cultures and stadium atmospheres.
