FIFA President Gianni Infantino has described the 2026 World Cup as “the greatest human, social and cultural event that mankind has ever witnessed”.
He called the 2026 World Cup as the ‘best ever,’ to which Trump nodded in the affirmative.
In a chatty moment with U.S. President Donald Trump in New York, Infantino cited record-breaking television ratings, sold-out stadiums, and the tournament’s success in “uniting the world”
Infantino commended Trump for his role in the event and saying the tournament achieved its mission of uniting people from all corners of the globe.
Both Trump and Infantino wore bright faces and grinned all through the conversation.
“The American dream, Mr. President, came to reality,” Infantino said as he stood alongside Trump in New York on Friday. “We united the world.”
Trump had hosted a reception at Trump Tower in Manhattan for Infantino and international soccer stars amid a display of the golden trophy Trump plans to award to the winner of Sunday’s final between Argentina and Spain.
Infantino lauded Trump: “You don’t need people to compliment you, Mr. President, but this World Cup would not have been such an incredible success without you.”
Trump said this World Cup is “one of the all-time greatest sporting events in history,” adding that the tournament galvanized more than just the sporting world.
