PRESS RELEASE March 07, 2025
WASHINGTON -
U.S. Travel applauds President Trump on the establishment of a White House task force for the FIFA World Cup 26. This critical action, announced today, will ensure a seamless and secure experience for the 8 million visitors we could welcome if we build the right processes for both the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 and the FIFA World Cup 26. The task force, chaired by the president, will coordinate with federal agencies to prepare for these major events, positioning the U.S. to welcome the world.
"The creation of this task force was a top priority for U.S. Travel and will ensure the U.S. is fully prepared to host the world’s largest sporting event. We are grateful for the administration’s leadership in bringing together the necessary resources to support the massive influx of travelers, and we are confident this will lay the foundation for a truly transformative mega-decade of events," said U.S. Travel President and CEO Geoff Freeman. “We look forward to the positive impact this will have on both the travel industry and the nation as a whole."
