President Donald Trump will take the stage at Friday’s World Cup final draw ceremony at the Kennedy Center in Washington where he will accept FIFA’s inaugural peace prize, according to a draft of the run-of-show obtained by Politico<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The two-hour program will open with a performance by Andrea Bocelli — one of Trump’s favorite opera singers, who performed in the Oval Office earlier this year — before moving to remarks from FIFA President Gianni Infantino, according to the detailed run-of-show. Robbie Williams and Nicole Scherzinger will also perform.<\/p>\n

Infantino will then introduce Trump as the recipient of the event’s peace prize. Trump will accept the award and deliver remarks from the stage.<\/p>\n

Once the heads of state conclude their portion of the program, the show will shift to the official draw, run by a conductor and assistants. Balls labeled with each country’s name will be pulled from pots to form 12 groups of four teams each for the 2026 tournament.<\/p>\n

The Village People, the disco group whose song “YMCA” became a signature anthem at Trump campaign rallies and his inauguration, will close the ceremony.<\/p>\n

The tournament will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico from June 11 to July 19.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
