The US men’s national soccer team is through to the knockout stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and the crypto industry is making sure it has a front-row seat.
The USMNT’s path through Group D
The US kicked off its World Cup campaign with a convincing 4-1 victory over Paraguay on June 12, 2026. The team sits in Group D alongside Australia, Paraguay, and Türkiye. A win against Australia on June 19 would cement the USMNT’s spot in the Round of 32.
This year’s tournament is the first to feature 48 teams, up from the traditional 32. The 2026 World Cup is co-hosted by the US, Canada, and Mexico.
