Half of the U.S. squad will be playing in the World Cup for the very first time alongside 13 World Cup vets, including Pulisic and Adams.

The global tournament is set to kick off across North America next month.

The U.S. men's team will take on Paraguay on June 12 in the first of three group stage games before moving on to additional Group D matchups with Australia and Turkey.

The U.S. team will be looking to improve upon their 2022 tournament run, when they lost to the Netherlands in the Round of 16.

The U.S. Men's National Team has never won a World Cup tournament.
