Donald Trump will not move World Cup matches, says Fifa vice-president

According to the article, FIFA vice-president Victor Montagliani has stated that any decision to move World Cup matches from host cities for the 2026 tournament must be made by FIFA, not by US President Donald Trump. Montagliani, who is also the president of Concacaf, the governing body for North and Central America and the Caribbean, clarified that the World Cup is Fifa's tournament and under its jurisdiction. This comes after Trump said he would move matches out of cities like San Francisco and Seattle, which he described as being "run by radical left lunatics." Montagliani emphasized that it is Fifa's responsibility to make such decisions, not the US president's.
