World Cup 2026 .. The recent statements of the former American President Donald Trump have sparked a wide debate and concern about the cause of the World Cup 2026, which is hosted by three countries, the United States of America, Canada and Mexico. Trump’s statements that included direct threats to move some matches from the host cities if they were deemed “unsafe” or “unable to organize well”, opened the door to questions about the extent of the policy’s impact on the world’s largest sporting event.
Trump threatens to move matches from “unsafe” cities
In a recent speech to reporters, Trump said that he might make a “serious” decision to move some of the 2026 World Cup matches from cities that do not adhere to the standards of security and peace. He specifically pointed to the cities of Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Boston, saying that they are “worrying” because of the security situation and the infrastructure.
This threat comes at the time when the three cities are preparing to host the historic tournament, which is being held for the first time in three different countries, amid expectations that 48 teams will participate for the first time in the history of the 2026 World Cup.
Internal threats from political interference and influence on the tournament
Although the contracts of the International Football Association (FIFA) are concluded directly with the host cities and not with the governments, Trump’s statements put the organizers in front of a new challenge. The spokesman for the former American president confirmed last October that “public safety is the responsibility of the government”, which does not reflect the possibility of political interference in decisions related to security and regulation during the 2026 World Cup.
“The Athletic” website reported that some of the officials of the host cities are concerned that these statements may negatively affect the commitments of the local sponsors, who play an important role in financing the activities and festivals accompanying the championship.

Bob Lynch, the former executive director of the partnerships between the Miami Dolphins and the Brooklyn Nets, warned that Trump’s statements could create an environment of commercial instability before the start of the 2026 World Cup.

Linesh pointed out that what is happening now is reminiscent of the episodes of the global economic crisis, explaining that the political uncertainty hinders the movement of contracts and slows down the decision-making process among the potential sponsors of the host cities in the 2026 World Cup.
Trump brings back the debate between sports and politics in the 2026 World Cup
The history of the relationship between politics and football is not new, but Trump’s recent statements bring this conflict back to the forefront, especially as the tournament approaches. Analysts believe that the threats may create unprecedented pressure on the host cities, and may prompt some companies to reconsider their marketing plans for the tournament.
The World Cup 2026 is set to witness the greatest expansion in the history of the tournament in terms of the number of teams selected and the number of matches and participating venues, which makes the stability of the organization and security a vital issue for the success of the event.

So far, there has been no official comment from the International Football Association (FIFA) regarding Trump’s threats, but close sources have confirmed that the organization is monitoring the situation closely to ensure that the arrangements for the 2026 World Cup are not affected.
Some reports indicate that FIFA may have to hold meetings with representatives of the three cities (the United States, Canada, and Mexico) to ensure compliance with the required standards and that there are no disruptions affecting the match schedule.

As the dispute continues, the officials of American cities are afraid that the escalation of political rhetoric will lead to the withdrawal of sponsoring companies from participating in the activities accompanying the 2026 World Cup. Economic analyzes confirm that any disturbance in the sponsoring or financing process may have a negative impact on the expected commercial returns from the tournament, which are estimated at billions of dollars.

While the world is waiting for the start of the 2026 World Cup as the biggest edition in the history of the World Cup, the political statements of prominent personalities like Trump are generally worrying. And while the hosting cities seek to prove their ability to organize, any political intervention may be attacked by efforts that lasted for many years of planning and preparation.
And at the end of the day, the most important question remains: Is it possible for the political and security forces to organize the World Cup 2026?
