The USA is co-hosting the 2026 World Cup with Canada and Mexico. In 2030, European, African, and South American countries will share hosting duties, while the 2034 tournament is set for Saudi Arabia. According to Giuliani, this could pave the way for another North American tournament in twelve years.

“I’ve discussed this with President Trump and several cabinet members. I believe no country is better prepared to host the World Cup than the United States,” Giuliani was quoted by DPA news agency.

Ahead of the championship, human rights organizations raised concerns about the impact of Donald Trump's administration's immigration policies on both domestic and international fans. However, Giuliani stated that the atmosphere in the host cities has been positive so far.
