Together with Canada and Mexico, the USA organizes the 2026 World Cup. Donald Trump wants to take the organization into his own hands.
US President Donald Trump has formed a task force for the World Cup next year, which will be held in the USA, Canada and Mexico-with him. In the presence of FIFA President Gianni Infantino, he signed the corresponding decree in the White House. The workstill will work with all ministries and authorities to support them in planning and organizing the 2026 World Cup and the club World Cup (June 15 to July 13) that takes place this summer, the White House said.
Infantino thanked Trump for the formation of the Task Force. He emphasized that millions of people would come to the USA, first to the club World Cup and then to the World Cup next year. He also presented Trump the trophy of the club World Cup, around which Bundesliga club FC Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund will also play.
The FIFA boss spoke of an economic effect that is at $ 40 billion from now to the next year. “We will create 200,000 jobs for these two world championships, and we will also give the whole world joy and happiness,” he said. Infantino said to the address of the less football-loving Americans than football enthusiasts: “We have ten million tickets for sale. It’s like three Super Bowls every day, for a month.”
