The 2026 World Cup is officially here— and the stars are stepping out to root for their favorite teams.
The global soccer tournament will be held in the United States, Canada and Mexico, with the qualifying teams competing in matchups throughout the three countries this summer ahead of the championship game at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
“I think it’s very cool, [and I’m] very much excited for it and what it can do, or what it means for the world and the country itself,” Team USA athlete Miles Robinson exclusively told Us Weekly before making the team in May 2026. “I think it’s a great opportunity for, you know, all humans to come together to celebrate a sport … and can really bridge some gaps between cultures, and can hopefully make people realize that we’re so much more alike than unalike,”
Robinson, in particular, gushed that making the USA roster was a “dream come true.”
“It [is] something [that is] super surreal to me,” he told Us. “For me, right now, I’m just trying to stay focused and on the present and recognizing that, you know, the moment is king, because I think that’s when I’m at my best when I’m not worried or thinking about the future, I’m really just very much dialed in on the present.”
Robinson and his teammates earned their first victory on June 12, 2026, thanks to midfielder Gio Reynas’ trivela goal in the final seconds of the qualifying match against Paraguay.
