The 26-player roster brings together three goalkeepers, seven defenders, nine midfielders and seven forwards. USA is drawn into Group D, where it faces Paraguay, Australia and Türkiye. The most-played player in the last 12 months of national-team football is Matthew Geary, with 974 minutes across 12 caps, the squad's most in-form option heading into the tournament. Close behind is Alexander Freeman on 848 minutes, another of the side's most-used players over the same period. Over the past twelve months the team has posted 8 wins, 1 draws and 6 losses, scoring 29 goals and conceding 25. Our ranking orders the squad purely by national-team minutes, not club minutes, and every name links to a player profile with the full minutes and recent-form breakdown.
