Football's reputation affected by Trump's interference
The article addressed the criticisms made by the Spanish newspaper "AS" against U.S. President Donald Trump regarding his excessive interference in the 2026 World Cup issue and his biased perspective on the tournament. It pointed out that Trump gained a prominent position among the tournament's host leaders, having led the working group dedicated to the World Cup and used the White House for events related to the tournament, which the newspaper considered a departure from the traditional principles of neutrality in football. The newspaper also criticized Trump's politicization of the matter and his phone interventions in organizational decisions. This drew responses from the European Union and several sports organizations, which rejected the politicization of the sport, emphasizing that the interest of football has always been in safeguarding the principles of integrity and independence.
