US President Donald Trump announced that a task force will be established in his country, which will co-host the 2026 World Cup with Canada and Mexico, to ensure that preparations for the event are completed flawlessly. Trump announced this decision at a ceremony held in the Oval Office at the White House, which was also attended by FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
In his speech at the ceremony, Trump stated that the World Cup would be as exciting as 'watching 3 Super Bowl games a day.' Noting that he would like to attend some of the matches in person, Trump stated that the task force was established to ensure coordination between the cities where the matches will be held and to better organize other preparation processes.
Trump is expected to chair the World Cup Task Force. The 2026 World Cup will be held in the US, Canada, and Mexico between June 11 and July 19, 2026. It is projected that more than 8 million international visitors will come to the US as part of the event.
