FIFA president Gianni Infantino has congratulated Donald Trump ahead of his return as US President
Trump has declared victory and looks on course to defeat Democrat rival Kamala Harris.
The 2026 World Cup will be hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with the Jules Rimet trophy returning to North America for the first time since 1994.
Infantino met Trump multiple times during his first presidency to discuss the World Cup, as well as talking about opening FIFA headquarters in the USA – which they did in 2023.
‘Congratulations Mr President!’ Infantino wrote on Instagram on Wednesday morning.
‘We will have a great FIFA World Cup and a great FIFA Club World Cup in the United States of America! Football Unites the World!’
