Fifa opened an office in Trump Tower amidst Donald Trump's announcement to attend the Club World Cup final. This event highlights a notable shift in American attitudes towards soccer, a sport once ridiculed by conservative commentators as un-American. The previous century showcased a sporting isolationism in the U.S., prioritizing baseball, football, and basketball, while soccer struggled for acceptance. However, commercialism has enabled soccer's growing popularity, leading to a remarkable shift in its standing within the American sports landscape.
Soccer's growing popularity in the U.S., once seen as a sign of moral decay by commentators, indicates a shift towards embracing the sport.
Despite historical disdain for soccer, Donald Trump's attendance at the Club World Cup final signifies a significant political victory for football in America.
