The draw ceremony for the 2026 North Korea-China World Cup was held at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC on the 6th (Korea time). Except for the six countries ahead of the playoffs, a total of 42 head coaches who have been confirmed to advance to the finals were dispatched. Coach Hong Myung-bo of the A national soccer team also entered the country on the 4th.
This is the first World Cup where 48 countries, not 32 countries, participate. In the group stage, not only the first and second places in 12 groups (A to L groups, a total of 24 teams), but also the top eight teams among the third places will advance to the round of 32, a new start to the tournament.
Superstars embroidered with North American sports such as Tom Brady, a seven-time winner of the National Football League (NFL), Shaquille O'Neal, Aaron Judge (New York Yankees), one of the best sluggers in the Major League Baseball (MLB), and Wayne Gretzky of the National Hockey League (NHL) participated in the draw as helpers. In the soccer world, Cha Bum-keun, former coach of the Korean national team, as well as legends such as England's Rio Ferdinand and Brazil's Dongga, were also present.

President Infantino said "The FIFA Peace Prize is annually presented to a special individual who has shown unwavering commitment to promoting peace and unity around the world through outstanding leadership and action on behalf of billions of football fans around the world", he explained. "It is to honor his outstanding and outstanding efforts and actions in promoting peace and unity around the world."
President Trump said in his acceptance speech, "'One of the great honors in my life.'" He said "We saved millions of lives. The world is now a safer place."There are still conflicts around the world, but we will continue to take the lead in protecting world peace. I am grateful to my family and everyone who is here with me."
President Trump, who missed the Nobel Peace Prize, recovered his pride with this award. However, there are constant suspicions that his background is not pure over his award. Infantino has been rumored to have been overly favorable to President Trump.
