Trump Wants to Rename Soccer to “Football” in the U.S.—Here’s What He Said During the FIFA Club World Cup Final

 In a bold and unexpected move, former President Donald Trump has hinted at renaming “soccer” to “football” in the United States—aligning it with global usage. While watching the FIFA Club World Cup final on July 13, Trump shared his thoughts live on DAZN TV, jokingly saying, “I think we can do that, I think I could do that,” in reference to an executive order. The interview, published July 14, has stirred up reactions across sports and political circles. Trump, known for his controversial renaming decisions—including his past push to rebrand the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America”—might just be setting his sights on America’s sports vocabulary next.
