​From the opening days of the World Cup in the United States, former U.S. President Donald Trump has cast a heavy shadow over the tournament. Rather than serving as a celebration of global sportsmanship, the event has been transformed into a commercial enterprise dominated by corporate interests, exorbitant ticket prices, and inflated hosting fees. Participating national football federations have found themselves financially drained, stripped of their expected revenues and forced to cover escalating operational costs.
​Major international teams and sports officials have expressed mounting frustration over the commercialization of the tournament. Key sports organizations and commentators contend that the essence of football is being sacrificed for political grandstanding and monetary gain. This shift has alienated fans, created severe financial strain for smaller nations, and altered the traditional spirit of the global competition.
