US EditionMexican President Sheinbaum to Attend World Cup Draw in Washington
Sheinbaum will attend the World Cup draw to learn Mexico's group placement and may hold a brief meeting with Trump, FIFA president Gianni Infantino confirmed.
- Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said she will only be at the start of the 2026 World Cup draw at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., where U.S. President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will also participate.
- After a call with FIFA president Gianni Infantino, Sheinbaum confirmed she will attend only the start of the draw to see which group Mexico will lead and then leave.
- This meeting would mark the first face-to-face encounter between Sheinbaum and Trump after their planned G-7 summit in Canada was canceled when Trump returned early due to tensions between Israel and Iran.
- With a June 11 start and July 19 final, the 2026 World Cup runs from Mexico City's Azteca Stadium to East Rutherford's MetLife Stadium, framing the draw's significance.
- Sheinbaum said it is `not yet decided` whether she would seek a private meeting with Trump and added it would be `a very brief meeting` if it occurs.
