United States to face Bosnia & Herzegovina in World Cup round of 32

The United States opens the knockout stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on July 1, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, against Bosnia & Herzegovina. The U.S. topped Group D with victories over Paraguay (4‑1) and Australia (2‑0) and a 3‑2 loss to Turkey, while Bosnia finished third in Group B after a draw with Canada, a defeat to Switzerland and a 3‑1 win over Qatar.

U.S. coach Mauricio Pochettino described the match as “the final of the World Cup tomorrow,” urging his squad to treat Bosnia as a serious opponent despite being favourites (bookmakers list U.S. odds around 1.38). Christian Pulisic confirmed he is fully fit to start, while defender Mark McKenzie remains sidelined with a foot injury. Bosnia, led by 40‑year‑old striker Edin Džeko, rely on their height and physicality, with coach Sergej Barbarez noting the team’s average height of 1.85 m.

Media previews highlight the United States’ aim to secure its first knockout‑stage win since 2002, while fan excitement has sparked a surge in U.S. team merchandise. The winner will advance to face the victor of the Belgium‑Senegal match in the round of 16.
