Donald Trump stated that Iran’s presence at the World Cup would not be noteworthy, despite the US President’s assertion that Iran was well-represented. The remarks were made during a visit to Fort Bragg in North Carolina, where Trump met with US special forces involved in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. The event occurred on February 13, 2026.
The Minister for Sport in that country expressed a different opinion, but Trump maintained a deliberate and considered viewpoint. He argued that “football is not a sport; it is a game,” and therefore, participation in either the World Cup or the World Championship was not a sporting event. Trump repeatedly emphasized this distinction, asserting that the term “sport” did not apply to these competitions.
His comments underscored a specific perspective, repeatedly stating that the event was not memorable. The repeated assertion highlighted a fundamental disagreement regarding the nature of the competitions and their classification.
