A former Youth National Team standout, Haji Wright talks about his journey from the U.S. youth teams to a spot on the 2022 FIFA World Cup team. Wright was part of a current crop of USMNT players who were all part of the youth programs and grew up as friends, forming a special bond. That friendship has carried through some of the ups and downs of a career in Europe and trying to make it at the highest levels of the sport. Now Wright will line up alongside his friends and World Cup teammates as the USA takes the field in Qatar. “26 Stories,” presented by Volkswagen.

Happy for him man. He's bringing that good chemistry with him to the team. Family vibes. I hope he plays and scores
This was wonderful to see. We are behind you haji
Wholesome
So cool, I'm so glad he decided to make the rough decision to go to europe. I bet we see him back in the Bundesliga again soon.
Let’s go Haji!
Way to go, kick butt !
Good to see him get rewarded with his good performances in Turkey.
Hajis a good dude, wish him all the luck in Qatar. I think he might have a start coming…
What a cool dude. Good luck bro!!
Congratulations to Nuri Şahin who retired early to take over Antalya. Transformed Haji into a goal machine (his movement off the ball the biggest thing) and now he's going to a world cup.
Do good Haji! We are with you all the way from south GA USA! SHOCK THE WORLD GENTLEMEN 🫡
Even though it was a surprise call up, I have a funny feeling he is gonna go off. He’s got great chemistry with the guys and is in really good form. I just got a weird feeling man. Hope I’m right!
Let's go my boy go off on the world stage 🇺🇲♥️
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
so happy hes here
Gossip girl! Love that!!! Do us proud Haji!
He seems like a nice kid.
Hope he can stay confident and show everyone why he deserves to be at the WC, and help the USA do well!
Happy for this guy! I watched him and that us u17 team and they were one of the best teams I’ve ever watched. They were perfect, and Haji looked like he would be one of the best strikers In the world one day. Pulisic actually became a star, but Haji didn’t start off as expected In Germany. But it’s great to see him coming into his own, amd becoming a great pro, I saw that in him long ago now he’s playing in a FIFA World Cup🔥
I was not expecting the Gossip Girl plug 🤣
