According to reports from July 2026, former U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly urged FIFA President Gianni Infantino to bring another FIFA World Cup to the United States, saying he wants to see it happen 'while he is alive.' The comments were made during a media appearance, though exact quotes remain unverified.
The United States is already set to co-host the 2026 FIFA World Cup alongside Canada and Mexico, with matches scheduled across 16 cities. Trump's call appears to target the 2030 edition, which is expected to be awarded later this year. FIFA has not officially commented on Trump's remarks.
Trump has a history of involvement in soccer events, having helped secure the 2026 bid during his presidency. However, no formal proposal for a 2030 U.S. World Cup has been submitted. The 2030 tournament is also being contested by a joint bid from Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay, marking the centenary of the first World Cup.
