The 2026 FIFA World Cup group stage draw is just around the corner as the United States, Canada and Mexico prepare to stage the largest iteration of world soccer’s grandest tournament.
The competition will run for 38 days between June 11 and July 19, 2026 and will see 48 nations compete for the fabled golden trophy—although only a handful harbor genuine hopes of glory. Six countries are still to confirm their spots via the play-offs, but the remaining 42 will discover their fate during the upcoming draw.
The U.S. will host the majority of matches at the tournament and they will also present the group stage draw, with President Donald Trump having been heavily involved in pre-tournament build-up to date.
But will President Trump attend the upcoming draw?
