According to a reporter from Vietnam News Agency in Washington, the United States—a country that for most of its history viewed soccer as an "imported commodity" or ignored it altogether—has undergone a remarkable transformation to become the center of the world's most popular sport, marked by proud historical milestones and the presence of top global superstars.

Ahead of the 2026 World Cup, the United States is not only hoping for its national team's success but also aiming for a long-term goal: building a solid foundation to produce world-class stars capable of competing with soccer powerhouses.

Home advantage has always been considered one of the most crucial factors in World Cup tournaments. However, for the Canadian team, one of the three co-hosts of the 2026 World Cup, this does not hold entirely true.

After years of investing in soccer, the United States enters the 2026 World Cup at home with greater expectations than ever. Under the guidance of coach Mauricio Pochettino and a talented generation led by Christian Pulisic, the US team aims to establish a new position on the world soccer map.
