Donald Trump<\/a> has declared that the World Cup<\/a> should return to the United States \u201cimmediately\u201d and claimed he would ask Fifa<\/a> president Gianni Infantino<\/a> to help stage another tournament during his presidency. <\/p>\n

The hosting rights for next two World Cup have already been decided. The 2030 edition will take place in Morocco, Portugal and Spain, following opening matches in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay to mark the tournament\u2019s centenary, while the 2034 tournament will be held in Saudi Arabia. <\/p>\n

Fifa\u2019s rules for its World Cup bidding process prevents countries belonging to confederations that hosted the two preceding tournaments to host the next one, which means the United States are not eligible until 2038. <\/p>\n

Trump, who will be attending his first match of this summer\u2019s tournament at Sunday\u2019s final between Argentina and Spain and will present the winning team with the trophy, said in a pre-match interview with Fox Sports<\/a> that he had a \u201cgreat idea\u201d for Infantino to host the World Cup in the United States again. <\/p>\n

He claimed that demand for the World Cup resulted in matches \u201coverflowing\u201d with fans. According to Fifa\u2019s figures, the inaugural 48-team World Cup, held across 16 cities in the United States, Mexico and Canada, had an overall attendance of 6.6 million, more than the two previous World Cups combined. <\/p>\n

\u201cBased on the numbers we will be requesting it immediately,\u201d Trump said, while acknowledging there would be \u201cshock\u201d and \u201canger\u201d at such a decision. \u201cWe have to do this again, and we have to do this again while I am around, hear that Gianni?\u201d <\/p>\n

Trump also predicated that Argentina would beat Spain in Sunday\u2019s final and would successfully defend their World Cup title, adding that \u201cit\u2019s hard to bet against Messi\u201d. <\/p>\n

The US president\u2019s relationship with Infantino was one of the many controversies to cloud the build up to this World Cup<\/a>, along with ticket prices, visa issues and the ongoing war with Iran, a competing nation, during the tournament. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":772511,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[23,3,21,19,22,20,25,24],"class_list":["post-772510","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-states","tag-america","tag-news","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/772510","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=772510"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/772510\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/772511"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=772510"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=772510"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=772510"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
