President Trump on the 2026 FIFA World Cup ⚽️

Next summer, we'll host the official 2026 World cup tournament where 48 national teams will compete in 78 matches right here in the USA. And that'll be something very, very different and very special. These events will attract millions of passionate fans around the world, including my son. I have a son that loves soccer. Barron. Nobody's ever heard of Barron, right? Have you ever heard of Baron? He's a good soccer player too. He's a little tall for soccer, but that's okay. And over 1 billion viewers. It can have one of the big, I guess one of the biggest viewerships of any sport of at any time. This will be a once in a lifetime opportunity to showcase the beauty and the greatness of America. And we can't wait to welcome soccer fans from all over the globe. I don't know if I'm supposed to say soccer or football, because every time I say soccer, Baron and Eric say, you're really saying it wrong. It's supposed to be football, but we know it more as soccer. These events will also generate tens of billions of dollars in economic activity for local businesses and create thousands and thousands of jobs for American workers. I've directed my entire team to do everything within our power to make the World cup an unprecedented success. And that's what it's going to be. We're going to make sure of it.
