FIFA World Cup 2026: US midfielder gets just a day off from training for his own wedding


American midfielder Brenden Aaronson had a good excuse to miss the US World Cup team’s training on Friday: he was getting married.

The Leeds midfielder is set to marry Milana D’Ambra, a daughter of Saint Joseph’s men’s football coach Don D’Ambra.

Aaronson, also a member of the 2022 U.S. World Cup squad, left camp after Thursday’s session and was expected to return in time for Saturday’s practice.

Aaronson, a 25-year-old player from Leeds in the Premier League, is part of a well-known American football family from Medford, New Jersey. His brother Paxten plays for Major League Soccer’s Colorado Rapids and sister Jaden played for Villanova as a freshman last fall. Their father, Rusty, is the athletic director of Real Futbol Academy in Medford.

The U.S. team allowed star Christian Pulisic to skip practice to attend its Hershey High School prom on May 27, 2016, at the Hershey Hotel in Pennsylvania, then return the next day for the Copa America match against Bolivia in Kansas City, Kansas.
