The Mundial will be the first on US soil since the 1994 tournament which Brazil won, to win their fourth crown and become the most decorated country in the competition.
According to a social media post, Cristiano Ronaldo has sent his Portugal national team jersey to the United States President Donald Trump with a powerful message at a difficult moment for the world.
“To President Donald J. Trump. Playing for peace,” the message reads.
The jersey was delivered through the European Council President, Antonio Costa, who had previously been the prime minister of his country, Portugal.
Both men are currently at the G7 Summit in Alberta, Canada, where he received the delivery of the signed shirt.
Many fans applauded the gesture from the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, while others trivialise it to throw shade in the GOAT debate with Lionel Messi, who plays for MLS side Inter Miami.

“There’s levels to this GOAT thing. You play their league - we deal with the President. FIFA and Journalists can’t give you this. One of the things Daddy Infantino can’t procure for his baby boy.”

The world is currently dealing with conflicts in many regions, particularly the Iran and Israel conflicts, where there has been a series of missile attacks in both countries, leading to loss of lives.
Trump has been vocal about dialogue with both countries, particularly as Israel is an ally of the United States.
According to Goal, the 45th and 47th president of the US sent a message on Truth Social.
“We will have PEACE, soon, between Israel and Iran! Many calls and meetings now taking place,” he wrote.
