The 2026 World Cup is approaching amid great sporting expectations, but a significant portion of the attention has focused on US President Donald Trump, who is considered one of the most influential figures off the field of play.
The world's biggest football tournament will be hosted by three countries simultaneously for the first time - the United States, Mexico and Canada - while Trump's role and decisions are expected to have a direct impact on the atmosphere that will accompany the biggest football competition.
Due to his political profile and often unpredictable style, analysts estimate that Trump could dominate media headlines during the tournament, alongside football stars such as Lionel Messi, Vinicius Junior, Lamin Jamal and Cristiano Ronaldo.
One of the main concerns is related to US immigration and security policies. According to reports, there are fears that certain measures could create difficulties for participants, fans or officials associated with the World Cup, putting FIFA facing organizational challenges.
The debate surrounding the preparations for the tournament has also raised the possibility of denying entry to the US to people associated with football, while there has been criticism of Trump's presence at sporting events organised by FIFA. However, the leaders of the world football governing body have insisted that the main focus should remain on the sport and the development of the competition.
It is worth noting that the United States won the right to host the 2026 World Cup during Donald Trump's first presidential term, further linking his name to this global event.
With a new format that will include 48 participating nations, the 2026 World Cup is expected to set new records. However, in addition to the spectacle on the field, attention will also be focused on political developments and the influence that the US president may have on the course and perception of the tournament.
