What an incredible honor and what an incredible privilege, said Infantino.

There is maximum respect for Fifa. Being mentioned by the new President of the USA is unique and beautiful.

In his speech, Trump said:

I am the President during the Olympic Games and the World Championship. Gianni, thanks for the World Championship. And thanks for the Olympic Games, everyone. We're going to have a fantastic time.

Last weekend, Gianni Infantino had a meeting with Donald Trump at the President's Florida residence Mar-a-Lago.

I would like to thank President Trump, with whom I have a wonderful friendship, and assure him that together we will not only make America great again, but the whole world. Football unites the world, said Infantino.

The USA, together with Canada and Mexico, will host the 2026 World Championship and two years later, the Summer Olympic Games will take place in Los Angeles.
