FIFA's decision to host the 2026 World Cup draw at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., on December 5 has sparked a U.S. Senate investigation into alleged cronyism and financial mismanagement. The agreement, which lists a $0 rental fee but includes $7.4 million in donations and sponsorships from FIFA, has drawn criticism from Senator Sheldon Whitehouse amid political ties to President Donald Trump. Meanwhile, FIFA announced a new seeding format to separate top teams until later stages.
