USA FootGolf unveils full Acapulco 2026 World Cup roster

USA FootGolf laid out a full Acapulco 2026 World Cup delegation built to cover every major division, not just one medal lane. The roster page showed Team USA entering the FIFG FootGolf World Cup with invited players spread across men’s, senior men’s, senior men plus and women’s categories, a structure that pointed to a program trying to contend everywhere at once.

The men’s group was headlined by Bart Wojtyla, Jordan Godfrey, Nathan Shuey, Sharif Khatib, Richard Matteoli, Oswaldo Gallegos, Angel Reyes, Luca Shelesky, Jorge Uriona, Talfik Ryyan, Matt Reed, James Olmos, Eneias Caetano, Stoyan Dinev, Jon Aron, Pier Valdez, Julio Yepez and Kevin Zhang. Wojtyla was listed as men’s captain, while the roster also noted vice-captain support within the group. That kind of spread suggests the U.S. is not leaning on a short rotation, but on a broader competitive pool that can be sorted by course fit and matchup across the week.

The senior men’s side brought another layer of experience, with Sean McNamara, Sean Luigs, Mark Herz, Mark Woodward, Nick Wallace, Arturo Barragan, Abdul Elkhoja, Jeremy Johnson, Rob Sahm, Robert Cohmanschi, David Andler and Darrin Karuzas among those selected or accepted. Karuzas was listed as senior men’s captain, giving the delegation a second leadership point alongside Wojtyla. The women’s roster was smaller but equally defined, with Jo Reid, Allyson Lonas, Brooklyn Reid, Jordan Nichols, Nicole Adams and Sara Allen, and Jo Reid named captain. That three-captain setup showed a federation organizing by division, not simply assembling names.

The Acapulco championship itself was built on a scale FootGolf has never really seen before. The official event site said the 12-day program ran from May 27 to June 7, with the individual world championship from May 27 to June 1 and the team championship from June 2 to June 7. It listed 1,240 players and 64 teams, broken into 24 men’s teams, 24 senior men’s teams and 16 women’s teams, with Turtle Dunes and Tres Vidas as the host courses and Princess Mundo Imperial as the host hotel in Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico.

That scale matters because the American pathway is built for a tournament that rewards depth as much as star power. USA FootGolf said Team USA is the exclusive U.S. representative in the FIFG World Cup and that the American FootGolf Federation oversees the national program and individual categories. The federation also said AFGL-affiliated players have appeared in every edition of the FIFG World FootGolf World Cup, reinforcing the sense that Acapulco was another step in a long-running pipeline rather than a one-off selection exercise. The event’s official site also said daily streaming was set for May 29 to June 7, with finals available free on regional television, ensuring the U.S. roster would play under a wider spotlight than any previous FootGolf World Cup.
