- On Saturday, Tim Ream was named captain of the United States men's national soccer team for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, announced during a team roster reveal in New York City.

- Coach Mauricio Pochettino announced the decision Saturday, emphasizing that Ream possesses "the experience, he has a capacity to be the leader that we want, the positive leader."
- "This is more than a dream come true," Ream said at Saturday's news conference, calling the captaincy "the highest honor for me."
- Ream could become the oldest American to play in a World Cup, arriving at 38 years, 250 days when the U.S. faces Paraguay on June 12.
