flag Trump threatens to move 2026 World Cup games from Boston over protests, but FIFA says venues are final and immune to politics.

flag President Donald Trump threatened to relocate 2026 World Cup matches from Foxborough, Massachusetts, citing safety concerns and criticizing Boston Mayor Michelle Wu as “radical left,” though FIFA, not the U.S. government, has final authority over venue selection. flag The comments followed recent protests in Boston, including a violent incident that injured police officers, and come amid broader federal deployments of National Guard troops to several cities, sparking legal challenges. flag FIFA officials emphasized that relocating games at this stage—just months before the tournament—would create major logistical and legal hurdles, and reiterated that hosting decisions are independent of political influence.
