Trump’s participation in the event comes as the American men’s soccer team is performing well, having defeated both Paraguay and Australia in its first two matches.
The U.S. last hosted the World Cup in 1994. Though soccer does not rank among the most popular sports in the United States, it has slowly acquired a growing following and U.S. success in the tournament has attracted additional interest.
