President Donald Trump has confirmed the United States will “immediately” apply to host the next available World Cup on the back of a successful run as co-host this summer.
Sunday’s final, in which Spain bested Argentina to win its first crown in 16 years, brought an end to the 2026 World Cup, co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico. It was the first game attended by President Trump, who joined FIFA’s Gianni Infantino both in the stands and during the trophy ceremony.
