Final pre-World Cup tournament
The 2025 Gold Cup marks the final international tournament for the USMNT ahead of co-hosting the 2026 World Cup, leaving Mauricio Pochettino with one last competitive environment to test his player pool and determine who deserves a spot in next year's World Cup squad.
After calling up a heavily MLS-based roster for the recent Concacaf Nations League, domestic players have received a boost of confidence from Pochettino in knowing that their form and ability will determine their possible inclusion, regardless of the league they play in.
