U.S. Men's National Team head coach Mauricio Pochettino released a 30-man preliminary roster Monday for the upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifying matches in June. The squad features a blend of established stars and emerging talent from both European and MLS clubs.
Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, and Yunus Musah headline the midfield selections, while 19-year-old forward Diego Martinez earned his first senior call-up after a breakout season with Bayer Leverkusen. The USMNT faces Costa Rica on June 6 and Mexico on June 10 in matches critical to their 2028 qualification campaign.
Pochettino noted that the final 26-man roster will be trimmed after a May training camp, giving fringe players additional opportunities to make their case for inclusion.
