North Charlotte Today

Charlotte FC defender Tim Ream has been called up to represent the U.S. Men's National Team (USMNT) for upcoming friendlies. This selection is notable as it is the first roster announcement since former head coach Gregg Berhalter's tenure ended. Ream will bring his extensive experience to matches against Canada on September 7 and New Zealand on September 10.

Ream, a veteran with 61 caps, has been a significant player for the USMNT, participating in the 2022 World Cup and contributing to the team's victory in the 2023-2024 Gold Cup. As he aims for a spot on the 2026 World Cup roster, these friendlies offer him an opportunity to solidify his position within the team. His call-up is also a point of pride for Charlotte FC, highlighting Ream's ongoing importance at the international level.

Ream joins three other Charlotte FC teammates who are representing their national teams during this window: Karol Świderski (Poland), Liel Abada (Israel), and Jere Uronen (Finland).
