MIAMI – Concacaf’s six representatives have announced their 26-player rosters to compete at the FIFA World Cup 2026.
Below we take a look at the highlights from the squads of Concacaf national teams.
Canada
Jesse Marsch is set to manage The Reds at a third major tournament and first FIFA World Cup since taking over the team in 2024, as Canada prepares to be a host nation for the first time.
Bayern Munich full back Alphonso Davies headlines the roster as he looks to leave his injury issues behind to make an impact in this summer’s tournament. Davies scored Canada’s only World Cup goal to date in 2022.
Thirteen players from Canada’s squad for the past World Cup return for this edition, among them standouts such as winger Tajon Buchanan, who contributed seven goals and an assist for Villareal in the 2025/26 LALIGA campaign, and striker Jonathan David, who netted five goals for Canada in 2025.
Canada’s experienced players are complemented by a series of new additions brought into the fray over the past two years, such as defender Luc de Fougerolles, midfielder Niko Sigur, and forward Promise David, who recovered from a serious hip injury ahead of making the roster and looks to leave his mark after 28 league goals for Union Saint-Gilloise over the past two Belgian Pro League seasons.
Mexico
Mexico faces its third World Cup as a host nation with an experienced squad featuring 12 returning players that were also called up for the past edition in 2022. Veteran goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa will make a historic sixth World Cup appearance, while rising star Gilberto Mora is set to become Mexico’s youngest ever player at the competition at 17 years of age.
Among the players in manager Javier Aguirre’s list that arrive in form are forwards Julián Quiñones and Raúl Jiménez. Quiñones recently capped off a stellar 2025/26 season with Al-Qadsiah in the Saudi Pro League by claiming the Top Scorer Award with 33 goals, while Jiménez contributed nine goals and three assists for Fulham FC throughout the English Premier League 2025/26 season.
United States
The United States announced its squad for its second World Cup on home soil with captain Christian Pulisic leading the list. On the heels of finishing the 2025/26 Serie A campaign with AC Milan with eight goals and four assists, Pulisic will seek to have another impactful tournament this summer. Pulisic was directly involved in all three of the United States’ goals at the 2022 World Cup, scoring once and delivering two assists.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side enters the World Cup with several players in form across every line. At the back, center back Chris Richards leads the defensive line after helping Crystal Palace win the 2025/26 UEFA Conference League, flanked by Sergiño Dest after featuring prominently in PSV’s 2025/26 Eredivisie title conquest, and Fulham’s Antonee Robinson.
The midfield unit will be in command of the likes of Weston McKennie and Tyler Adams. In attack, Folarin Balogun recently concluded the Ligue 1 2025/26 campaign with 13 strikes for AS Monaco, while Ricardo Pepi bagged 16 league goals for PSV, and Haji Wright netted 17 goals in the English Championship to help Coventry City achieve promotion.
Curaçao
Led by manager Dick Advocaat, the Blue Wave is ready for its historic debut at a World Cup. Curaçao’s 26 player squad is led by its history makers, starting at the back with experienced goalkeeper Eloy Room, who contributed 30 saves and posted six clean sheets in 10 appearances during the qualifiers.
A talented midfield unit includes players like Leandro Bacuna, who led the team with three assists in qualifiers, while the team’s attack will be spearheaded by target men like Jürgen Locadia, Gervane Kastaneer, the team’s top scorer in qualifiers with five, and Tahith Chong, who’s recorded three goals in five appearances since making his national team debut in September 2025.
Haiti
Haiti is set for its long-awaited return to a World Cup after 52 years. French tactician Sébastien Migné is at the helm for Les Grenadiers. The roster is led by forward Duckens Nazon after his key role in helping the team achieve qualification and finishing as the top scorer in Concacaf qualifiers, including a crucial hat-trick in a high stakes 3-3 draw in Costa Rica.
Other notable inclusions are goalkeeper and captain Johny Placide and right back Carlens Arcus, who recently closed out a standout 2025/26 season with 26 Ligue 1 appearances for Angers SCO. New recruits such as forward Wilson Isidor, who struck six times for Sunderland in the Premier League this past season, will also look to make an impact at the global competition.
Panama
Los Canaleros head to the World Cup with an experienced 26-man roster selected by manager Thomas Christiansen and led by stalwart midfielder Adalberto Carrasquilla. The 2023/24 Concacaf Men’s Player of the Year arrives after recently finishing runner-up with Pumas UNAM in the Liga MX Clausura 2026, making 21 appearances while contributing two goals and two assists.
Other key players recently closing out the 2025/26 season in form are goalkeeper Orlando Mosquera, who made 50 saves and recorded seven clean sheets in 32 Saudi Pro League appearances, and forward Ismael Díaz, who contributed five goals and five assists in 15 Liga MX appearances.
Panama’s list includes seven players that return for the upcoming edition after featuring in the Central American’s squad for its historic World Cup debut in 2018: goalkeeper Luis Mejia, defenders Amir Murillo, Eric Davies, and Fidel Escobar, midfielders Anibal Godoy and Yoel Barcenas, and forward Ismael Díaz.
