The U.S. men's national team has finalized its 26-man roster for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with head coach Mauricio Pochettino making several key decisions. According to multiple reports, Gio Reyna has been included in the squad, while midfielder Diego Luna has been left out.
Reyna, 23, has been a polarizing figure due to past disciplinary issues and limited playing time at club level. However, his technical ability and experience in major tournaments, including the 2022 World Cup, appear to have secured his place. Luna, 22, who impressed during the 2024 Olympic cycle, was reportedly informed he did not make the final cut.
The roster announcement comes as the USMNT prepares for its opening match of the tournament. Pochettino, who took over in 2024, has emphasized a blend of youth and experience. Other notable inclusions and omissions are expected to be confirmed in the official release.
As of May 23, 2026, the full roster has not been officially published by U.S. Soccer, but player notifications were made on Friday. The team will begin training camp ahead of their first group stage game.
