Russian President Vladimir Putin may participate in the 2026 World Cup. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

This was announced by Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov. According to him, such a possibility cannot be ruled out.

In an interview with “RIA Novosti Sport,” Peskov commented on the likelihood of Putin attending the World Cup. The 2026 World Cup will be held in the summer across three countries – the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
