President Donald Trump has told Gianni Infantino the United States will be requesting to host the World Cup again “immediately” as he lauded the success of the 2026 tournament.The U.S. president is attending the final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, the first time he has been present for a match for the duration of the six-week competition.Trump played a significant role in the original awarding of the tournament to the U.S., Canada and Mexico and made a considerable impact once play started with his call to FIFA president Infantino ultimately resulting in USMNT striker Folarin Balogun seeing a one-game ban for a red card in the tournament’s round of 16 overturned.The World Cup will next be held in Spain, Portugal and Morocco in 2030, with the opening three games set for Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay to mark the 100-year anniversary of the tournament.After what he believes has been a “beautiful” tournament, Trump says the U.S. is a “soccer country” and wants to see the competition back on American soil as soon as possible.In an interview with Fox’s Jenny Taft ahead of Sunday’s showpiece, Trump said: “Well, I had an idea for Gianni. So he got it all started and, you know, I brilliantly said, ‘Well, we’ll do it,’ but, you know, you could have a lot of empty stadiums. (It) didn’t work out that way.
