Mini bio
How it started.
Weston learned soccer while his father was stationed at Ramstein Air Base in Germany. After moving to Texas, he developed in the FC Dallas Academy from 2009 to 2016. When the chance came to turn professional, he chose Schalke in Germany.
The breakthrough.
He made his Bundesliga debut in May 2017, aged 18, and scored on his senior USA debut against Portugal later that year. In August 2020, he joined Juventus as the club’s first American player. A loan spell at Leeds United followed in 2023 before he returned to Turin.
Club and country.
His Juventus career has included Coppa Italia titles in 2021 and 2024. With the USA, he helped win three consecutive Concacaf Nations League titles and played in all four American matches at the 2022 World Cup. Juventus extended his contract through June 2030 in March 2026.
Beyond the pitch.
Weston founded McKennie’s Magical Youth Mission to support orphans and underserved children through resources, education and opportunities. In 2026, his journey also became part of Chobani’s Feed the Dream campaign, celebrating the families, coaches and communities behind USMNT players.
