President Donald Trump recently quipped about the possibility of issuing an executive order to officially rename “soccer” to “football” in the United States.
President Trump joked about requiring the US to call soccer “football” in line with the rest of the world during an interview at the FIFA Club World Cup final Sunday.
Trump attended the FIFA final at MetLife Stadium Sunday evening, where Chelsea FC trounced Paris Saint-Germain FC in what the president aptly described as “a bit of an upset.”
Despite the let-down match, Trump lit up when a reporter suggested penning a new executive order officially renaming soccer “football” in the US.
“I think we could do that,” he told DAZN.
