Donald Trump reveals FIFA president’s response after he reportedly phoned Gianni Infantino to personally request that Spain be removed from the World Cup and replaced by Pakistan, following Spain’s refusal to support them in the Iran war.

Unverified claims circulate online regarding alleged Trump–FIFA discussion on World Cup participation

Reports circulating on social media have made unverified claims suggesting that former U.S. President Donald Trump allegedly spoke with FIFA President Gianni Infantino in a phone call to request changes to World Cup participation arrangements involving Spain and Pakistan.

According to the claims, Trump is said to have urged that Spain be removed from a future World Cup tournament and replaced by Pakistan, reportedly in connection with Spain’s alleged political stance related to tensions surrounding the Iran conflict. However, no credible evidence has been presented to support these assertions.

Neither FIFA nor Gianni Infantino has issued any statement confirming that such a conversation took place, and there has been no official indication that any World Cup eligibility decisions involving national teams have been discussed or considered in this manner. Spain remains an established member of FIFA and a regular participant in international competitions, while Pakistan’s participation in World Cup football is governed by standard qualification procedures.

Experts note that FIFA eligibility and tournament participation rules are strictly based on sporting qualification criteria, and not influenced by political disputes between nations.

As of now, the claims remain unverified, and no reputable news organisation has confirmed the existence of the alleged phone call or its reported content.
