Donald Trump expressed a desire for the U.S. to host the World Cup again during a conversation before the final match of the tournament on July 19. Following the successful 2026 World Cup, which was co-hosted by the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, Trump conveyed this wish to FIFA President Gianni Infantino. He noted that the strong attendance and engagement at the current tournament has led him to advocate for another U.S. hosting opportunity, ideally while he is still in office. However, he acknowledged that the next available World Cup for the U.S. would not be until 2038, as Morocco, Spain, and Portugal will host in 2030, and Saudi Arabia in 2034.
