As the World Cup is around the corner, President Trump wants the best leadership in charge of this biggest event, so he appointed Andrew Giuliani to lead the 2026 FIFA World Cup Task Force.
See the tweet below.
The appointment ensures America will showcase its greatness when hosting 78 of the 104 World Cup games.
This strategic move demonstrates Trump’s commitment to delivering a world-class experience while creating tremendous economic opportunities for American businesses.
The White House announced Giuliani’s appointment as Executive Director of the President’s Task Force, capitalizing on his previous experience in the Trump administration.
Giuliani, son of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, previously served as a special assistant to the president and played a crucial role in reopening America to international athletes during the 2020 pandemic.
President Trump expressed full confidence in Giuliani’s leadership abilities.
“I am proud to announce the appointment of Andrew Giuliani as the Executive Director of the President’s Task Force on the 2026 FIFA World Cup,” Trump stated.
The task force was established in March to coordinate government agencies for the FIFA Club World Cup, which will be held from June 14 to July 13, 2025, and the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The tournament will span 11 American cities, including Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, and others. The championship match will be held at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
Moreover, Trump has assembled an all-star team of American patriots to ensure the tournament’s success.
Carlos Cordeiro, former President of the US Soccer Federation, who was instrumental in securing the United States as a host country, will serve as Senior Advisor to the task force.
Vice President JD Vance, FIFA President Gianni Infantino, and key cabinet members, such as Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, attended the first meeting at the White House.
Meanwhile, the economic impact for host cities will be substantial, with projections of up to 450,000 visitors and an economic boost of up to $480 million per city.
This tourism and business activity surge means real American jobs and opportunities as the country prepares for this international showcase.
Unlike the wasteful spending we have seen from the left, this investment will deliver tangible returns while putting America first on the world stage.
The task force’s focus on safety and logistics proves the administration’s commitment to strong borders while welcoming legitimate visitors.
Secretary Noem has pledged to ensure comprehensive security, protecting Americans and international guests from potential threats.
Furthermore, Vice President Vance emphasized the event’s non-political nature, calling it an opportunity to showcase American hospitality and values to the world.
While the World Cup welcomes international visitors, the task force ensures America’s interests remain the top priority.
With Giuliani at the helm, supported by proven leaders like Cordeiro, Americans can be confident that the 2026 FIFA World Cup will showcase the nation’s exceptional capability to host the world with efficiency, security, and that uniquely American spirit of excellence.
