🏆 United States All-time National football Dream team Squads

The United States men's national soccer team (USMNT), designated as USA by FIFA, represents the United States in men's international soccer, which is governed by the United States Soccer Federation. The team has been an affiliate member of FIFA since 1914 and is a founding member of CONCACAF, which was founded in 1961. Regionally, it is an affiliate member of NAFU in the North American Zone.

The United States has qualified for the FIFA World Cup twelve times. It is one of five CONCACAF teams to have advanced to the knockout stage, finishing in third place in 1930, reaching the quarterfinals in 2002, and also reaching the round of 16 in 7 editions, 6 of them since 1994. Their third place finish in Uruguay 1930 is the best result by a CONCACAF team in the competition and is the only non-European or South American team to achieve a World Cup podium finish.
