Trump reveals 2026 FIFA World Cup to take place at Kennedy Center
(MENAFN) US President Donald Trump announced Friday that the draw for the 2026 FIFA World Cup will be held on Dec. 5 at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC.
“It’s a tremendous honor to bring the global event, and this incredible group of people and these unbelievable athletes, the best athletes in the world, to the cultural center of our nation’s capital,” Trump said during a press briefing in the Oval Office with FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
“The Kennedy Center will give it a phenomenal kickoff,” he added.
The 2026 World Cup, which will expand to 48 teams for the first time, will be hosted across the US, Mexico, and Canada. Although 11 US cities will stage matches, Washington is not among them, making the draw itself the capital’s main World Cup highlight.
