Former US President Donald Trump stated his intention to bring the FIFA World Cup back to the United States immediately following the tournament’s final match between Spain and Argentina. The announcement was made prior to the game’s conclusion. German ZDF commentator noted Trump's statement, likening it to a “telephone joker”—a desperate attempt to gain attention. Details regarding how Trump intends to achieve this goal were not provided. This pledge echoes previous ambitions Trump expressed during his presidency to host the World Cup in the US. The move signals continued interest in securing major international sporting events for American soil. It remains to be seen if these efforts will materialize given the complexities of FIFA’s bidding process.
