Donald Trump will indeed attend the 2026 World Cup draw this Friday in Washington, at the Kennedy Center. The draw will be held less than eight months before the start of the tournament, which will be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Trump's participation was confirmed by White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt.

This draw will take place without Iran's participation, as several members of its delegation were unable to obtain U.S. visas. The spokesperson for the Iranian federation stated: "We have informed FIFA that the decisions made have nothing to do with sport and that the members of the Iranian delegation will not participate in the World Cup draw."
