A German politician has suggested that the German national team could boycott the 2026 World Cup, held in the United States, Canada and Mexico, “as a last resort in order to get [President Donald] Trump to see sense on the Greenland issue.”
Jürgen Hardt, who works as a spokesperson on foreign policy for the Christian Democratic Union party, made the claim on his own to BILD. He was not publicly backed by Sports Minister Christiane Schenderline, also from the CDU, who said that the German Football Federation (DFB) and FIFA, as "the responsible associations,” should field inquiries.
