"a little bit dangerous."
"They're run by radical left lunatics who don't know what they're doing,"
"If any city we think is going to be even a little bit dangerous for the World Cup, or for the [2028] Olympics ... but for the World Cup in particular, because they're playing in so many cities, we won't allow it,"
"We'll move it around a little bit. But I hope that's not going to happen."
Threats have been made to relocate World Cup matches from certain U.S. host cities described as 'a little bit dangerous,' with Democratic-run cities such as Seattle and San Francisco identified as examples. Seattle is slated to host six matches including a U.S. group-stage game, while Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara is scheduled for six matches. Eleven U.S. cities will host 2026 World Cup games alongside sites in Mexico and Canada, with the tournament running June 11–July 19 and the final in East Rutherford, New Jersey. FIFA retains authority over match locations, though the organization previously agreed to a U.S. request to move the tournament draw.
