U.S. Soccer announced plans to honor Michael Bradley’s extraordinary contributions to American soccer with a formal pregame ceremony when the men’s national team hosts كوريا الجنوبية in September at Sports Illustrated Stadium. The recognition comes following Bradley’s retirement from professional soccer in 2023 after a career that saw him amass 151 international appearances, placing him behind only Cobi Jones and Landon Donovan on the all-time caps list.
Bradley’s recognition reflects U.S. Soccer’s initiative to formally acknowledge players who have made exceptional contributions to the national team program. The federation has established specific criteria for this honor, requiring players to have earned at least 100 caps and appeared on rosters for two world championships, including World Cups or Olympic Games.
He has local ties to the match as he hails from Princeton and currently coaches the Red Bulls II, and the first team plays at Sports Illustrated Stadium.
Bradley will be celebrated before the USMNT begins its preparations for the 2026 كأس العالم with the friendly against South Korea.
