FIFA vs. Trump Showdown: The road to the 2026 FIFA World Cup just hit political turbulence as FIFA’s leadership directly shut down U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump stunned reporters last week by claiming he’d relocate FIFA matches away from American host cities he deems 'unsafe'. Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump declared: “We won’t allow it.” But FIFA Vice President Victor Montagliani has delivered a sharp rebuke — telling Trump the president has no authority over the World Cup. Montagliani’s response: “It’s FIFA’s tournament, FIFA’s jurisdiction, FIFA makes the decisions.” With 11 U.S. cities already locked in as host locations, along with venues in Canada and Mexico, FIFA insists football is bigger than political fights in Washington.

LONDON (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump was reminded Wednesday that FIFA, not any government, ultimately decides which cities will host 2026 World Cup games.

Trump suggested last week he could declare cities “not safe” for the 104-game soccer tournament next summer and alter a detailed hosting plan that FIFA confirmed in 2022. It includes NFL stadiums near New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

The 11 U.S. host cities, plus three in Mexico and two in Canada, are contracted with FIFA which would face significant logistical and legal issues to make changes in the eight months before the June 11 kickoff.

“It’s FIFA’s tournament, FIFA’s jurisdiction, FIFA makes those decisions,” the soccer body’s vice president Victor Montagliani said Wednesday at a sports business conference in London.

The Canadian president of North American regional soccer body CONCACAF said the sport is “bigger” than any current political debate.
