New Delhi: A statement by US President Donald Trump before the final match of the FIFA World Cup 2026 has become a topic of discussion at the international level. During a FIFA-related event held at the Trump Tower in New York, Trump commented on the future hosting of the Football World Cup and said that America should again get the next tournament. Along with this, Trump also said that this time Canada and Mexico should not be included in the hosting.
How people reacted to Donald Trump’s comments
Let us tell you, Donald Trump made this comment in the presence of FIFA President Gianni Infantino. The people present at the program reacted smilingly to his statement. After this, he said in a joking tone that if America is not able to host alone, then partnership with China can also be an option. He laughingly said that if this happens then the travel distance between matches will also be reduced. The people present at the program started laughing loudly at his statement.
During the program, FIFA President Gianni Infantino also praised Trump. He said that the 2026 FIFA World Cup reflects the spirit of the American Dream and the support of the US administration has played an important role in the successful organization of the tournament.
Team America was out with 4-1
Trump and Infantino’s relationship has been in the headlines before. Some time ago, Trump had claimed that he had talked to Infantino and requested to lift the suspension of the red card imposed on American footballer Folarin Balogun. After this, Balogun took the field in the next match, although the US team was eliminated from the competition with a 4-1 defeat to Belgium.
Actually, the 2026 FIFA World Cup has been jointly organized by America, Canada and Mexico. Now the tournament has reached its final stage and the title match will be played between Argentina and Spain at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Sunday. Trump has said that he will be present in the stadium to watch this final match.
Who will host in 2030-2034?
Meanwhile, FIFA has handed over the hosting of the 2030 World Cup to Morocco, Portugal and Spain, while the 2034 edition will be hosted by Saudi Arabia. The host country of the 2038 FIFA World Cup has not been selected yet. In such a situation, Trump’s comment has given rise to a new debate regarding hosting the World Cup in the future.
