BUILT TO SCORE

Strong, fluid and driven to go at defenders, Bobby Wood emerged in 2015 as a clutch goal scoring talent for the USMNT. He recorded back-to-back game-winning goals in victories against the Netherlands and Germany, the World Cup champions.

Wood followed his breakout year by becoming a first-choice striker throughout Copa America Centenario and the 2016 FIFA World Cup Qualifying. Having honed his skills in Europe as a teen, he is only the second player from Hawaii to earn a cap for the USMNT.

leading the way

In 2017, Wood started six matches and scored two goals in the World Cup Qualifier, including an 85th minute equalizer to give the USA a 1-1 draw with Honduras and the final goal in a 4-0 rout of Panama. He also tallied five total goals during the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier, tying him for fifth overall in CONCACAF. In 2018, he tied for a team-leading nine appearances and led the way with three goals, including the game-winner from the penalty sport in a 1-0 victory against Paraguay. He went on to become one of six U.S. players to record three goals on European soil.

goal-oriented in germany

In 2018, Wood went on loan to Hannover 96 after Hamburg's relegation, started 10 of 16 matches across all competitions, recorded three goals and two assists before the winter break. He also registered an assist in his club debut, a 6-0 DFB Pokal win against Karlsruher. He scored his first Bundesliga brace, with both goals coming from headed efforts in a 3-1 win vs. Stuttgart and he scored in the first minute of a 4-1 loss at Borussia Mönchengladbach
