When Inter Miami CF host Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Saturday in MLS Cup 2025 presented by Audi, some of the world's best players will be on the Chase Stadium pitch (2:30 pm ET | MLS Season Pass, Apple TV ; FOX, FOX Deportes; TSN, RDS).
Here are 11 players who have a realistic shot at playing at the 2026 FIFA World Cup , which will be co-hosted across the United States, Canada and Mexico next summer.
They're in addition to two World Cup winners – Miami midfielder Sergio Busquets (Spain 2010) and Vancouver midfielder Thomas Müller (Germany 2014) – who have since retired from international soccer. Miami have another World Cup veteran in Spanish left back Jordi Alba , too.
