"New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge is one of a star-studded lineup of North American sports legends that will help former England captain Rio Ferdinand conduct the 2026 FIFA World Cup Draw at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. I follow soccer closely, so being part of the World Cup draw is incredibly special, Judge said. With the final set for New York/New Jersey, I can't wait to see which teams will be battling for the title."
"Arguably the greatest hockey player of all-time, Wayne Gretzky, seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady, and Basketball Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal will also be working alongside Ferdinand, award-winning broadcaster Samantha Johnson, and Judge. To conduct this historic draw is an unbelievable honour, Ferdinand said. As a player, I lived for these global stages; now I'm humbled to play a different, special role together with an incredible line-up to reveal the 12 groups of four teams that the whole world is waiting for."
