FIFA President Gianni Infantino will be at the Oval Office on Monday for an announcement alongside U.S. President Donald Trump and the 2026 World Cup White House Task Force, according to a person with direct knowledge of the meeting.
Trump's public schedule includes a meeting with the Task Force, which originally was scheduled for 2 p.m. ET but began closer to 2:45 p.m. and is being streamed live on Youtube. The administration is announcing an expedited visa process for World Cup ticket holders attempting to enter the country.
The meeting is taking place with just over two weeks left until the 2026 World Cup Draw, which will be held Dec. 5 at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
Infantino has been a frequent visitor at the White House since Trump took office in January. Most recently, Infantino visited in August to promote the start of ticket sales for the World Cup.
