Arsene Wenger has backed the U.S. men's national team for success at the 2026 World Cup, with it his belief that football has finally "come to the fore" in America.
The U.S. will be hosting football's most prestigious international tournament in five years time alongside Canada and Mexico, which will mark the beginning of a new format that will see 48 countries compete for the trophy.
Wenger thinks the host nation will have a great chance of making it through to the latter stages of the competition, having been impressed with the emerging pool of talent that has been coming through in MLS and European football over the past few years.
