Led by new head coach Mikhail McLean—also an assistant at Kentucky—the squad features NBA stars Buddy Hield and Eric Gordon, aiming for the 2027 World Cup in Qatar and beyond. McLean, who helped the team nearly qualify for the 2020 Olympics as an assistant, now steers them toward Olympic dreams. They’ll face tough competition in Group 2, including Canada, Uruguay, and Argentina, with six crucial games leading up to February 2027. To qualify, they must finish top three or be the best fourth-place team across two groups—a tall task, but with elite talent and coaching, they’re ready to rise.
