White House Supports England's 2026 World Cup Bid

The White House has officially backed England in their pursuit of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Andrew Giuliani, representing U.S.

President Donald Trump, spoke to the Daily Mail, emphasizing that England is a strong contender following the United States' elimination from the tournament. Giuliani noted that England's victory would be particularly significant as it coincides with the 250th birthday celebrations of the United States.

He expressed confidence in England's chances, especially praising captain Harry Kane's performance and leadership. Giuliani mentioned that Trump's interest in football is strong, recalling a surreal experience when Kane played golf with the President in Florida in late 2024.

England is aiming to end a 60-year wait for their second World Cup title, facing a tough challenge against defending champions Argentina, led by Lionel Messi, in the semi-finals after defeating Norway 2-1 in the quarter-finals.
