The president highlighted that more than 6.5 million spectators attended, assured that all attendance records were broken, and praised the global impact of the event organized in North America
A point of special relevance is the impact of the massiveness highlighted by the president, where Argentina has played a starring role. It is essential to highlight that, thanks to the economic freedom policies promoted by the government of Javier Milei, thousands of Argentinians have been able to travel to the United States to support the national team.
The largest sporting event in humanity has reached its climax, demonstrating that under strong leadership and open economies, there are no limits to success. The president of the United States, Donald Trump, led a historic press conference in New York alongside the head of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, to celebrate figures that have left the entire world astonished.
According to the president, this tournament has been “by far, the tournament with the highest attendance in history. And I mean the history of all sports”. In numerical terms, the magnitude of what has occurred is overwhelming: more than 6.5 million attendees were recorded in the stadiums, marking an absolute milestone of massiveness.
The total revenue reached the astronomical figure of 19.2 trillion dollars, setting a record for international football. Trump emphasized that the atmosphere in the 16 host cities of North America was “extraordinary”, with fans from 200 countries participating in the 104 matches played.
The logistics behind this triumph of organized capitalism were compared by the president to the coordination of 78 editions of the Super Bowl in less than two months. To ensure safety and protection, more than 50 federal agencies and all law enforcement bodies were mobilized.
In light of such results, Trump suggested that the United States should host the event alone in the future, without sharing with Mexico and Canada, arguing the country's superior capacity.
This massive flow of compatriots, who now enjoy an economy reclaiming its place in the world, witnessed the brilliance of Lionel Messi, who achieved a hat-trick against Algeria.
The relationship between political and sporting power was sealed with the words of Gianni Infantino, who stated emphatically: “This World Cup would not have been a success without you”.
To this, Trump proudly responded: “It turned out we were a football country”. The president even recounted his personal intervention before FIFA regarding the red card given to player Folarin Balogun, joking about his "recommendation" to Infantino.
The closing of this achievement will take place on Sunday July 19 at the MetLife stadium in New Jersey, where Argentina and Spain will compete for the world throne. The White House confirmed that Donald Trump, after being absent from the first 102 matches, will be the protagonist in the decisive ceremony and will present the trophy, thus crowning what is already, indisputably, the most successful World Cup in history.
