US President Donald Trump is set to attend the FIFA World Cup 2026 draw in Washington, the White House confirmed on Monday. The event, taking place at the Kennedy Center, highlights Trump’s focus on the tournament as a central feature of his potential second term and the US 250th independence anniversary. The 2026 World Cup will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Trump’s involvement comes amid political tension, as he has suggested relocating matches from certain US cities citing concerns over crime and illegal migration in Democratic-led areas. While the tournament promises to be a major sporting celebration, Trump’s stance has sparked debate on the intersection of sports and politics.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the president’s attendance and emphasized its significance for both sports and national pride.
