Trump Proposes Renaming American Football
Update: 2025-12-06
Description
Former President Donald Trump proposed renaming American football to soccer during a FIFA event in Washington, D.C., suggesting a significant shift in U.S. sports tradition. This idea emerged while accepting the FIFA Peace Prize, which was met with criticism from the soccer community. Trumps World Cup task force, with him as chairman, aims to host the 2026 tournament, but his speech during the draw ceremony was seen as a personal promotion rather than focusing on the event. The term football in the U.S. has been used since the 1870s, while soccer originates from Association Football. The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be co-hosted by the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, with the final match scheduled for July 19th at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
