<P> The U.S. men's soccer team have played in the Summer Olympics since 1924 . From that tournament to 1976, only amateur players were allowed on Olympic teams per Olympic rules . The Olympics became a full international tournament in 1984 after the IOC allowed full national teams from outside FIFA CONMEBOL & UEFA confederations . Since then the U.S. national team results have dramatically improved . Ever since 1992 the men's Olympic event has been age - restricted, under 23 plus three overage players, and participation has been by the United States men's national under - 23 soccer team . </P> <P> In regional competitions, the United States has won the CONCACAF Gold Cup six times, with their most recent title in 2017 . Their best ever finish at the Copa América was fourth - place at the 1995 and 2016 editions . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th_colspan="9"> FIFA World Cup record </Th> <Th> </Th> <Th_colspan="6"> FIFA World Cup qualification record </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Year </Th> <Th> Round </Th> <Th> Position </Th> <Th> Pld </Th> <Th> </Th> <Th> </Th> <Th> </Th> <Th> GF </Th> <Th> GA </Th> <Th> Pld </Th> <Th> </Th> <Th> </Th> <Th> </Th> <Th> GF </Th> <Th> GA </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1930 </Td> <Td> Third Place </Td> <Td> 3rd </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 7 </Td> <Td> 6 </Td> <Td_colspan="6">--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1934 </Td> <Td> Round of 16 </Td> <Td> 16th </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 7 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1938 </Td> <Td_colspan="8"> Did not qualify </Td> <Td_colspan="6"> Withdrew </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1950 </Td> <Td> Group stage </Td> <Td> 10th </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 8 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 8 </Td> <Td> 15 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1954 </Td> <Td_colspan="8"> Did not qualify </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 7 </Td> <Td> 9 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1958 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> <Td> 21 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1962 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 6 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1966 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1970 </Td> <Td> 6 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 11 </Td> <Td> 9 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 6 </Td> <Td> 10 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1978 </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 7 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1982 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 8 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1986 </Td> <Td> 6 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 8 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1990 </Td> <Td> Group stage </Td> <Td> 23rd </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 8 </Td> <Td> 10 </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 11 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Round of 16 </Td> <Td> 14th </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td_colspan="6"> Qualified as hosts </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1998 </Td> <Td> Group stage </Td> <Td> 32nd </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> <Td> 16 </Td> <Td> 8 </Td> <Td> 6 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 27 </Td> <Td> 14 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2002 </Td> <Td> Quarterfinals </Td> <Td> 8th </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 7 </Td> <Td> 7 </Td> <Td> 16 </Td> <Td> 8 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 25 </Td> <Td> 11 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2006 </Td> <Td> Group stage </Td> <Td> 25th </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 6 </Td> <Td> 18 </Td> <Td> 12 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 35 </Td> <Td> 11 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Round of 16 </Td> <Td> 12th </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> <Td> 18 </Td> <Td> 13 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 42 </Td> <Td> 16 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2014 </Td> <Td> Round of 16 </Td> <Td> 15th </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> <Td> 6 </Td> <Td> 16 </Td> <Td> 11 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 26 </Td> <Td> 14 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2018 </Td> <Td_colspan="8"> Did not qualify </Td> <Td> 16 </Td> <Td> 7 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> <Td> 37 </Td> <Td> 16 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2022 </Td> <Td_colspan="8"> TBD - not yet qualified </Td> <Td_colspan="6"> TBD </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2026 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Total </Td> <Td> 10 / 21 </Td> <Td> Third place </Td> <Td> 33 </Td> <Td> 8 </Td> <Td> 6 </Td> <Td> 19 </Td> <Td> 37 </Td> <Td> 62 </Td> <Td> 154 </Td> <Td> 77 </Td> <Td> 36 </Td> <Td> 41 </Td> <Td> 266 </Td> <Td> 181 </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th_colspan="9"> FIFA World Cup record </Th> <Th> </Th> <Th_colspan="6"> FIFA World Cup qualification record </Th> </Tr>
