Boston Mayor Mayor Wu Counters President Trump's Threat to Relocate FIFA World Cup Matches from City
Boston's mayor, Michelle Wu, indicated that the city was prepared for a confrontation with President Donald Trump over his claim that he could instruct FIFA to remove World Cup tournament matches from Gillette Stadium, located approximately 35 kilometers southwest of Boston.
Wu spoke on a Boston-based podcast this week to respond to comments from the White House, which had labeled her as "far-left." Trump had warned that he would contact the head of FIFA if Boston did not "clean up its act."
Much of it is secured by contract so that no single person, even the president, can undo it.
Wu continued, "We're in a world where for attention, for power, to test limits ... repeated warnings ... are directed at people and cities who refuse to back down and submit or follow along to a hateful agenda."
Mayor Wu further stated, "We are going to continue being ourselves, and that means, sadly, we are going to be part of a discussion that is targeting what Boston stands for." Wu concluded by emphasizing her support for the Boston, saying, "Ten toes down for Boston."
The President's Statements and FIFA Involvement
Recently, Infantino was photographed alongside Trump at the Gaza summit in Sharm el-Sheikh. Infantino has also visited the Oval Office and presented World Cup and Club World Cup trophies to Trump as presents.
On Tuesday, President Trump was asked about unrest in a Boston neighborhood that involved a police vehicle being burned. Trump replied, "If things aren't handled well, and if I feel there's danger, I would call Infantino – the president of FIFA, who's great."
Trump continued, "I'd tell him: 'We should relocate the games' and they would comply. He wouldn't love to do it. But he would do it without hesitation." Trump also directly criticized Wu, stating, "Boston's mayor is ineffective ... she's radical left, and they're dominating parts of Boston. That's a strong claim, right?"
Previous Threats and Upcoming Tournament Details
Trump has previously suggested that he would take the similar discussion with Infantino about relocating matches from Seattle and San Francisco, which are among the 16 locations across the continent.
The US is joint hosts the 2026 World Cup with neighboring countries. The 48-team event is planned to be played from 11 June to July 19 next summer.
