Trump attended FIFA Club World Cup final, receiving boos, some cheers while celebrating with the team. He's been to other high-profile sports events.

If FIFA is serious about its ideals and the unifying potential of its marquee event, it must confront the divisiveness the United States is sowing.

The U.S. has long referred to European football as "soccer" — but President Donald Trump signaled this week that he could officially change the practice. Speaking to DAZN TV channel, Trump was asked about the possibility of an executive order to rename the sport.

After the match, which Trump called “a bit of an upset” in a post-game interview, Trump was asked if he could issue an executive order to rename soccer “football” in the United States. Despite the let-down match, Trump lit up when a reporter suggested penning a new executive order officially renaming soccer “football” in the US.
