The head of the American task force for the current World Cup stated that the United States is fully equipped to host a 64-team tournament and may contemplate bidding for the 2038 event. Currently, the US is co-hosting the tournament with Canada and Mexico. With Europe, Africa, and South America set to host in 2030, and Saudi Arabia in 2034, there is a possibility for a North American bid in the future.

Andrew Giuliani, the executive director of the White House Task Force on the World Cup, expressed optimism about the US’s ability to host the event again. He highlighted the country’s welcoming nature and exceptional infrastructure, making it a prime candidate. Giuliani emphasized that the US has the necessary stadiums in place at a fraction of the cost compared to other host nations.

While Giuliani refrained from confirming a bid for 2038, he acknowledged the potential for the US to handle a 64-team World Cup. He expressed personal excitement at the prospect of the tournament returning to the US in the upcoming decades.

Despite concerns raised by human rights groups regarding the impact of immigration policies on supporters, the atmosphere in host cities has been largely positive. FIFA president Gianni Infantino mentioned the anticipated attendance of President Donald Trump at the final in New Jersey. Giuliani hinted at the possibility of Trump making an appearance before the championship match, noting the president’s penchant for surprises.

Giuliani expressed delight at the global admiration for the US during the World Cup, coinciding with the country’s 250th birthday celebration. As the tournament progresses, the eyes are on potential surprises that may unfold, keeping fans intrigued.
