Speaking at the 2026 FIFA World Cup draw in Washington on Friday, Trump told attendees that the sport known internationally as football deserves the name in the United States as well. Trump said “we have to come up with another name for the NFL,” adding that it “doesn’t make sense” for American football to use the term when the rest of the world associates “football” with soccer. His remarks were made during a segment highlighting the global growth of the sport ahead of next year’s World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico. The comment drew applause from parts of the audience and quickly sparked reaction across U.S. and international media, with some outlets framing the moment as a light-hearted exchange and others noting the longstanding debate over naming conventions. The National Football League has not commented on the remarks. Soccer governing bodies and World Cup organizers also did not issue immediate responses. The United States last hosted World Cup matches in 1994, and the 2026 tournament is expected to be the largest in the event’s history, featuring 48 teams competing in cities across North America. Trump’s comments come as interest in soccer continues to grow domestically, with Major League Soccer and U.S. national teams drawing record attendance and viewership in recent years.".
