U.S. Soccer has confirmed a multi-year deal with technology firm ŌURA to provide biometric tracking for its athletes and staff. The agreement names the Oura Ring as the official wearable of the U.S. Soccer Federation. This partnership will see the smart ring technology integrated into the daily routines of all 27 National Teams. The move comes as the federation prepares for several major global tournaments, including the 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup.

The collaboration will focus on providing coaches and players with detailed data on sleep, recovery and physical readiness. While the U.S. Women’s National Team has used the devices since 2020, this new contract extends the technology to the entire organisation. Staff will use the metrics to adjust training loads and manage the fatigue of players who travel frequently for international matches.

“Our job is to give our players what they need to be at their best,” said JT Batson, chief executive officer and general secretary of U.S. Soccer. “Recovery, sleep, and overall wellbeing are a big part of that. This partnership helps us better understand how our athletes are preparing and performing, and that’s a win for every team across U.S. Soccer.”

Oura is also a Founding Partner of the Arthur M. Blank U.S. Soccer National Training Center. This facility is located in Trilith, Georgia, and is scheduled to open in spring 2026. The centre will serve as a central base for high-performance research and community programming. Tom Hale, chief executive officer at Oura, commented on the upcoming stretch of international football.

“U.S. Soccer represents excellence, ambition, and one of the most passionate communities in sports,” said Tom Hale. “With the World Cup on the horizon, we’re honored that Oura Ring was selected as its official wearable partner and to stand alongside U.S. Soccer during one of the most historic stretches of competition in the sport. Oura gives players and staff a shared, data-driven language for readiness—bringing tools trusted by the world’s best athletes to everyone.”

The hardware collects data from the finger to ensure high signal strength without disturbing the movements of the players. The federation intends to sync these recovery metrics with its current monitoring systems. This will allow sports science staff to see how athletes respond to match play in real time.
