Donald Trump and Infantino at the Oval Office. Source: wikimedia commons It is not known from now on that politics and athletics are 2 inseparable areas. So we can presume that this will besides be seen during the next year's mundial, which will be held in the US, Canada and Mexico. Will the main star of this event be the American president?
The planet Cup is not only a sporting event, as it is besides highly crucial in terms of culture. This is simply a tournament where people from all over the planet meet. 1 of the main slogans of FIFA is that football is to combine alternatively than divide, but will it be so in this case? The organization of the mundial is highly prestigious. The United States will play the most crucial function of the countries mentioned above, due to the fact that that is where the tournament will start and where the final will be played. According to authoritative data provided by FIFA, the Mundial itself is expected to make around $47 billion, for American GDP, and enable the creation of nearly 300 000 jobs. Therefore, the organization, the tournament is so politically important.
Recently Gianni Infantino, the president of FIFA, visited the White House, where they were questioned by journalists together with the president of the Oval Office. Donald Trump announced that the U.S. authorities will issue peculiar visas that fans will be easier to prosecute during this sporting event. This is to improve the travel strategy to the United States. However, it is crucial that citizens of any countries do not receive specified visas. The White home administration has drawn up a list of 19 countries whose citizens cannot enter the U.S. as they may pose a threat to national security. This list includes Haiti, which qualified for the second time in its past at the Mundial, and their fans will not be able to support their live squad (they do not, of course, number the Haitian population already surviving in the US, and it is simply a reasonably large group of immigrants, with nearly 850 000 people according to the CIS study or Center for Immigration Studies). The same is actual with the Iranians who will besides play at this party. Of course, the only exception is typical players who will get a peculiar pass. Infantino said everyone was welcome and invited to the planet championship, which, as we can see, is not entirely true.
Los Angeles, Seattle and Boston are dangerous cities
Donald Trump has already repeatedly suggested changing the host cities of matches that will not support his immigration and crime simplification initiatives: – If we think there's any hazard of problems, I'd ask Gianni to decision the matches to another city. We have many cities that will welcome them. We will do this primarily to make it safe – the president answered the question asked at the White home conference. Although FIFA representatives warrant that president Trump will not influence the change of host cities, the leader of the MEGA movement will not miss an chance to put a fewer pints into the cities ruled by Democrats. This is simply a certain way to intimidate their mayors to start acting in accordance with the White home policy vision, due to the fact that otherwise they may lose the privilege of hosting matches. Nevertheless, relocation of the organizing cities does not seem to be real, due to the fact that it is alternatively specifically caused by confusion so that the president can bargain the show and usage it for his purposes.
Donald Trump Stadium
Interestingly, there has been another loud discussion in the United States this time about the American football league or NFL. Namely, there have been many voices, though from the anonymous Insider sources of the ESPN portal, that Donald Trump insists on naming the recently built stadium in Washington by his name. These voices became more likely erstwhile Karoline Leavitt, a White home spokesperson, answered a question asked by BBC journalists about this issue, “It would be a beautiful name due to the fact that president Trump made it possible to build a fresh stadium.” This is just a curious fact, but it perfectly illustrates the megalomania of the current head of state, although it does not surprise anyone. athletics is always on the board of media and fans, so if Trump is turning around in this environment, it is clear that the president will besides be the center of attention, although it might seem that he is not short of publicity.
If the tournament's organization goes as planned and we as fans get adequate sports excitement, surely the credit for the organizational success will be credited to Donald Trump. erstwhile the first whistle sounds, for football fans all the controversy mentioned, alternatively they will go into oblivion, as in the case of the mundial in Qatar, due to the fact that yet for real fans the most crucial will be football itself and the emotions associated with it.
