As of September 30th, 2025, the United States U-20 Men's National Team has arrived in Chile to compete in the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup. The young American squad is looking to make a breakthrough in the tournament, having reached the quarterfinals in the past four editions but failing to advance further.
This time, the U.S. team is determined to take the next step and reach the semifinals, where they would have a chance to compete for the championship. Led by head coach Marko Mitrović, the roster is filled with top young talents from Major League Soccer and European clubs, including the likes of Gavin Beavers, Luca Bombino, and Zavier Gozo.
The Americans will begin their group stage campaign tonight against New Caledonia, a team from Oceania that they will not take lightly. However, the U.S. is confident in its abilities and hopes to start the tournament on the right foot by securing three points. After facing New Caledonia, they will also take on France and South Africa in Group E.
With high expectations and a talented squad, the U.S. U-20 Men's National Team is poised to make a deep run in the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup and potentially reach the semifinals, a milestone they have yet to achieve in the past four tournaments.
