The United States is considering a bid to host the 2038 World Cup as FIFA explores expanding the tournament to 64 teams, according to Andrew Giuliani. This potential move comes during the current World Cup 2026, which the US is hosting and has already faced controversy including travel advisories and visa denials for Iranian staff.

Despite the issues, Giuliani argues the US is uniquely positioned for future World Cups. He points to existing infrastructure, noting that the US spent approximately $2 billion on facilities compared to tens of billions for other host nations. The comment comes amid criticism over costs and access during this summer's tournament.

Giuliani claims the US has demonstrated its hospitality during World Cup 2026, though social media reactions remain mixed. The Trump administration's immigration policies and visa restrictions have drawn particular scrutiny, with Iranian staff relocating their base to Tijuana.

The 2038 interest signals long-term planning from US officials, but current controversies suggest significant challenges remain before any formal bid could succeed.
