USMNT head coach Gregg Berhalter has selected the 26 players that will represent the United States at the 2022 World Cup, set for Nov. 20-Dec. 18 in Qatar. NYCFC Goalkeeper Sean Johnson will be on the plane to Qatar next week.
Returning to soccer’s biggest stage for the first time in eight years, the USA will kick off its World Cup campaign against Wales on Monday, Nov. 21 at Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium in Al Rayyan (2 p.m. ET; FOX, Telemundo), faces one of the tournament favorites England on Friday, Nov. 25 at Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor (2 p.m. ET; TV schedule here) and wraps up the group stage against IR Iran on Tuesday, Nov. 29 at Al Thumama Stadium in Doha (2 p.m. ET; FOX, Telemundo).
After the USA became the youngest nation to qualify for Qatar 2022 this spring, a total of 25 of 26 players have been selected to their first World Cup roster and will aim to make their debuts on the global stage.
“We are excited to take this group to compete in the 2022 FIFA World Cup,” Berhalter said. “Final roster decisions are always difficult, and we appreciate everyone’s contributions who helped us get to this point. We believe we have a talented group, a strong team spirit, and one that is ready to compete. We are extremely proud and honored to represent the United States and appreciate all the amazing support from our fans as we head to Qatar.”
