The 2026 FIFA World Cup has been a tremendous success, with over 4.6 million fans attending games in the US, Mexico, and Canada, exceeding the previous attendance record of 3.5 million set in 1994.
International Fans Flock to the US
Fans from around the world, including Scotland, Norway, and the Netherlands, have taken over baseball games and paraded down city streets, enjoying American small-town hospitality.
A German fan even became an internet sensation after traveling around the South and being invited backstage to meet Ella Langley at a concert. England fans also met with President Donald Trump.
Despite initial expectations that the tournament would be a disaster due to President Trump’s administration, the event has been widely acknowledged as a success.
Democrats have been forced to grapple with the success of the World Cup, with some admitting that it has been a great moment for the US, while others have struggled to acknowledge the Trump administration’s role in ensuring the tournament’s success.
