"President Donald Trump said Friday that the draw for the 2026 World Cup will take place on Dec. 5 at the Kennedy Center in Washington. He made the announcement with FIFA president Gianni Infantino and Vice President JD Vance during an event in the Oval Office. The U.S. is co-hosting the tournament next year with Canada and Mexico. The draw at the Kennedy Center will determine the World Cup's groups and the games each team plays in the opening round."
"Trump has taken over the Kennedy Center, installing himself as chair and replacing the board of trustees with loyalists. He's also hinted he'd like to see the venue renamed the Trump/Kennedy Center. Asked if he might be the one drawing team names to determine who they will play, Trump suggested that might not be a bad idea, and Infantino seemed to agree - though that part hasn't yet been determined."
