Trump seems unsure whether to call it soccer or football, but the president's aim is truer when using the world's favorite sport to score diplomatic goals.

Soccer’s biggest event is the Kennedy Center’s top billing Friday, with President Trump attending the final draw for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Before the draw began, FIFA President Gianni Infantino awarded Trump with the world soccer organization’s inaugural peace prize.

The schedule for the 2026 World Cup will be announced at midday ET by FIFA today. The draw for the tournament took place at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. yesterday and followed President Donald Trump receiving the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize.

The United States is the Group D favorite following the draw for World Cup 2026. It's first-round opponents include Paraguay and Australia.
