Paraguay’s President Santiago Peña will attend the opening match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Los Angeles, featuring the United States against Paraguay. This confirmation has drawn attention, particularly as former US President Donald Trump will not be in attendance. Instead of attending the game, Trump reportedly extended his support to the US squad through a phone call. The match marks a significant event as Paraguay returns to the World Cup stage after a period of absence. This development introduces a political dimension to the high-profile opening game. The focus now shifts back to the sporting event itself, despite the added political interest. The game is expected to be a major draw for fans and media alike.
