With the first men's World Cup on American soil in more than three decades coinciding with the nation's 250th anniversary, the U.S. men's national team is set to embrace its patriotic identity as it pursues a historic run. The squad will sport a boldly patriotic red-and-white striped home kit, paired with a sharp, navy blue away jersey featuring understated monochromatic stars.
The USMNT harbors high hopes for a deep tournament run this summer, potentially reaching the semifinal stage, with the energy of the home crowd expected to be a driving force. Fortunately, the Stars and Stripes have a favorable group stage draw, taking on Group D opponents Paraguay, Australia, and Türkiye with the opening match just under two weeks away.
Mauricio Pochettino's roster has now been officially assigned their shirt numbers for the summer tournament, headlined by the team's marquee star who will once again carry the iconic No. 10.

USMNT's Biggest Stars Retain Their Favored Numbers
There are few surprises in the USMNT's World Cup jersey number assignments. U.S. Soccer's standout star and prolific forward Christian Pulisic keeps his No. 10 shirt, a number he first wore in autumn 2016 at just 17 years of age — previously belonging to USMNT icon and joint all-time leading scorer Landon Donovan. Former head coach Jürgen Klinsmann handed Pulisic the number, acknowledging the teenager's immense potential and his clear trajectory as the face of the program.
Since that moment, Pulisic has claimed the U.S. Soccer Male Player of the Year award four times and is widely expected to be central to any success the Americans enjoy on football's biggest stage this summer.
Key midfielder Weston McKennie holds onto No. 8, a number he has worn since the age of 19 during the 2018–19 campaign, taking it over long-term from USMNT icon and joint all-time leading scorer Clint Dempsey.
Despite being widely expected to serve as the backup goalkeeper behind No. 24 Matt Freese at this tournament, Matt Turner will continue wearing the storied No. 1 jersey, which he has held since the 2020–21 season, including his role as the starting goalkeeper at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

What's Next for the USMNT?
The USMNT faces an immediate and significant test: an international friendly against European heavyweights and world No. 10-ranked Germany this Saturday in Chicago. The U.S. head into the match with some momentum following a commanding 3–2 win over No. 14-ranked Senegal, providing the team with cautious optimism heading into the clash.
The fixture serves as the final tune-up for the No. 16-ranked Stars and Stripes before the World Cup gets underway, making it crucial that the team delivers a strong showing to build confidence and establish their credentials as genuine contenders ahead of the tournament.
The U.S. has never progressed beyond the quarterfinal stage in the modern World Cup era — a remarkable achievement that occurred just once, more than two decades ago — meaning this squad is chasing history with every match.
