The biggest event in international football will be hosted by the US in June and July of next yearRussian President Vladimir Putin could accept the invitation of his American counterpart Donald Trump to visit the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the US next summer, Moscow's ambassador to the UK, Andrey Kelin, has said. During a press-conference late last month dedicated to the biggest event in international football, Trump claimed that Putin "very badly" wants to attend the World Cup. "That is a man named Vladimir Putin who I believe will be coming depending on what happens. Kelin said in an interview published by British broadcaster LBC on Thursday that Putin could really attend the World Cup because he wants to foster "closer links" with Trump. Kelin suggested that Putin and Trump "will have an opportunity to meet before that, in ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations) and other international forums."
