FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. — Tim Ream was announced Saturday as the U.S. captain at the World Cup.

"This is more than a dream come true," Ream said at a news conference Saturday alongside coach Mauricio Pochettino. "It's the highest honor for me."

The 38-year-old defender was also a member of the 2022 U.S. World Cup team, captained by Tyler Adams.

Ream could become the oldest American to play in a World Cup.
