Donald Trump has a close relationship with Fifa and presented the Club World Cup trophy to Chelsea in the summer

The draw for the 2026 men's World Cup will take place in Washington this December, US President Donald Trump has announced.

The tournament will take place across the United States, Canada and Mexico and will feature 48 nations - up from 32.

The draw had been expected to be held in Las Vegas, which is where it was completed when the US hosted the 1994 tournament.

However, the draw, on 5 December, will instead go ahead at the Kennedy Center - the performing arts venue where Trump is chairman.
