Tim Weah gives the USMNT pace, versatility and big-game pedigree, and he will be a useful weapon for the United States at a home World Cup in 2026. The son of Ballon d’Or winner George Weah, Tim has carved out his own career across some of Europe’s biggest clubs, and his ability to fill several roles makes him valuable to head coach Mauricio Pochettino.
From PSG to Marseille
Weah came through the academy at PSG and gained early experience on loan at Celtic before his breakthrough at Lille, where he won a Ligue 1 title. A move to Juventus took him to Serie A and the Champions League, and he has since returned to France with Olympique Marseille. The table below covers his main club spells in our database.
| Club | Apps | Goals | Assists | Chances created |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lille | 111 | 8 | 7 | 56 |
| Juventus | 76 | 6 | 4 | 44 |
| Olympique Marseille | 37 | 3 | 3 | 37 |
What the numbers say
Weah is a creator and runner more than a pure goalscorer. He created 56 chances and added seven assists in his Lille years, and has chipped in with goals and assists at Juventus and Marseille without ever being a No. 9. His value is in the final third from wide areas, stretching defenses with his pace.
That versatility is the key. Often deployed as a right wing-back at club level, Weah can defend a flank or push on as a winger, giving the U.S. tactical flexibility down the right.
Tim Weah and the USMNT
For the United States, Weah is squad depth with a high ceiling, a player who can change a game’s shape off the bench or start in either a wing or wing-back role. He combines with the attacking talent of Christian Pulisic down the right, and his big-match experience in Europe is exactly what a young squad leans on. See where he fits in our USMNT roster guide.
USA 4-1 Paraguay and what is next
Weah featured off the bench as the United States opened with a 4-1 win over Paraguay at SoFi Stadium, getting 18 minutes and two shots as Pochettino managed his options with the game won. Next comes Australia in Seattle on 19 June. For the bigger picture, see our World Cup 2026 hub and the latest World Cup 2026 winner odds, with more on his role at U.S. Soccer.
