The president also announced in March that he would be establishing a White House task force in anticipation of the Club World Cup and the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be predominately hosted by the U.S. Canada and Mexico will also play host to several matches.

In May, Trump announced that Andrew Giuliani, the son of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, was appointed executive director to manage and oversee daily operations. Carlos Cordeiro, a FIFA senior advisor, was also named as a senior advisor on the task force.
“He’s going to be great. I’ve known him for a long time. He’s a highly competitive golfer, really good. He’s also a highly competitive person, and he loves what we’re doing. I want to congratulate you and your family and your father, your great father who is the greatest mayor in the history of New York,” Trump said of Giuliani in May following the task force’s first official meeting.
“It’s a big post. You better do well, Andrew.”
