(Nov. 9, 2022) NEW YORK - The 26 players who will represent the United States at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, scheduled to take place in Qatar from November 20–December 18, have been chosen by head coach of the U.S. Men's National Team Gregg Berhalter.
A total of 25 of 26 players have been chosen to their first World Cup squad after the USA became the youngest country to qualify for Qatar 2022 this spring. These players will look to make their debuts on the international arena.
We are eager to send this team to the FIFA World Cup in 2022, Berhalter added. "Final roster choices are always challenging, and we value the work of everyone who helped us get here. We think our squad is skilled, has a great sense of camaraderie, and is prepared to compete. As we travel to Qatar, we appreciate all the incredible support from our supporters and are incredibly happy and privileged to represent the United States.
For the first time in eight years, the USA will compete on soccer's biggest stage when it takes on Wales on Monday, Nov. 21 at Al Rayyan's Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium (2 p.m. ET; FOX, Telemundo), plays with England on Friday, Nov. 25 at Al Khor's Al Bayt Stadium (2 p.m. ET; FOX, Telemundo), and plays with IR Iran on Tuesday, Nov. 29 at Doha's Al Thumama Stadium (2 p.m. ET; FOX, Telemundo).

When the USA hits the field on November 21 against Wales, the 26-player group will be the second-youngest World Cup lineup for the USMNT, with an average age of 25 years, 175 days.
Note that unless the roster is submitted to FIFA, it won't be considered official. All clubs have until November 14 to submit their final rosters. Until USA's opening match against Wales, injured players can be replaced on the roster.
USA return to World Stage
The USMNT will face off against Qatar's strongest overall group in its eighth World Cup appearance. With Wales, England, and IR Iran in Group B, the four countries have an average ranking of 15.
The 32-nation format will be used for the last World Cup, which will take place in 2022 and will be the first to be hosted in the Middle East. The 32-nation model will be used for eight groups of four teams. The top two finishers in each group after group play proceed to the knockout stage of the competition, which runs from December 3–18. Eight state-of-the-art stadiums in Qatar, will host all 64 games of the tournament, and they are all about a one-hour drive from Doha, the country's capital.
YOUNG AMERICAN SQUAD 2022
The USMNT gained invaluable experience by enduring the rigors of World Cup qualification because they were by far the youngest squad to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The USA Starting XI scored an average of 23.82 through 14 qualifiers, over two years younger than the next-closest squad, Ghana, who scored an average of 25.67. Through qualifying, the other 31 competing teams' Starting XIs had an average age of 27.5, or roughly four full years older than the United States.
The USMNT played 10 of the 11 youngest lineups in the world during the recently ended qualifying cycle, with all 14 lineups falling in the 23 youngest Starting XIs in the world going back to October 2020, according to the data that is currently available for eligible teams.
Nine U-23 players on the 2022 team's roster, including Tyler Adams (23); Brenden Aaronson, Sergio Dest, Josh Sargent, and Tim Weah (22); Jess Ferreira (21); Yunus Musah, Gio Reyna, and Joe Scally; equal the 1990 USA squad for the most U-23 players on a USMNT World Cup roster (19).
Although Gio Reyna turns 20 on November 12 and Yunus Musah turns 20 on November 29, the day of the USA's last group stage match against Iran, this is the first USMNT World Cup team with more than one adolescent on the roster.
TEAM USA HAS A HIGH PROBABILITY TO WIN WORLD CUP:
Team USA is anticipated to be one of the best team on the upcoming Qatar world cup 2022. Here are the various reason that might lead USMNT to win the world cup 2022.
- Has one of the youngest squad in world cup 2022.
- Young players with high spirit and endurance.
- Experienced players despite being young squad.
- The US National team currently has good athletes and some pretty decent players.
It is never guaranteed that well known teams will win world cup as we have seen Brazil losing 7-1 against Germany in 2016 world cup. And underdog teams are always rising like wales at one time. But due to absolute teamwork, technical skill and football rising as a tradition in America and kudos to its young beast team, we may not be surprised to see USMNT winning the Qatar world cup 2022.
