According to Mars Finance, on March 11, Trump told FIFA that he welcomes Iran to participate in this year's World Cup in the United States. Last night, Trump spoke with FIFA President Gianni Infantino and Andrew Giuliani, executive director of the White House FIFA task force, in the Oval Office. Trump seemed to have forgotten his previous statement that "I really don't care if Iran participates in the World Cup," and instead changed his tune to welcome Iran. The 2026 World Cup will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with the opening match on June 11 and the final on July 19, lasting a total of 39 days. Iran is expected to play New Zealand in Los Angeles on June 15, followed by Belgium on June 21. Currently, on the prediction market Polymarket, Spain is the top favorite to win the 2026 World Cup with a 15% probability, followed by England, Argentina, and France.
