The US President’s comments came one day after the President of the International Football Association, Gianni Infantino, announced the opening of a FIFA office in Trump Tower, New York City.
“We have received great support from President Trump and the US government, through the White House Club World Cup currently, as well as the World Cup next year,” Infantino said.
The World Cup in its first expanded version is seen as a preparatory experience for the World Cup for the next summer teams (2026), which will be held in partnership between 3 countries, the United States, Canada and Mexico, with the participation of 48 teams, which is a record number.
It is noteworthy that Trump was keen during his second term as President of the United States to attend some sporting events, as he became the first president to attend the Super Paul match, last February, according to the American “ESPN” network.
In May, Trump announced the selection of the American capital, Washington, to host a draft selection of the American Football League for the year 2027 from his office at the White House.
Despite Trump’s clear interest in sports, his policies – especially those related to immigration and the ban on the entry of citizens of 12 countries around the world to the United States – have raised many concerns about the 2026 World Cup, despite Infantino’s assurances that the United States will welcome the world in this global tournament that is held every 4 years.
The Trump administration is considering a decision to greatly expand travel restrictions and prevent the entry of citizens of 36 additional countries, according to a document obtained by Reuters.
