The U.S. men’s national team aren’t your typical soccer powerhouse like Brazil, Italy or Germany—but it has still built a rich World Cup history.
The Stars and Stripes qualified for the inaugural tournament in 1930 and have gone on to appear 10 more times, including at eight of the last nine editions. They will also feature in the 2026 World Cup, which they will co-host for the second time after previously hosting in 1994.
