FIFA World Cup 2026 Task Force

Andrew Giuliani is the Executive Director for the White House Task Force on the FIFA World Cup 2026.

Appointed by President Donald J. Trump in May 2025, he is spearheading the federal government’s extensive efforts to ensure that the largest World Cup in history will also be the safest. Under his leadership, the Task Force created an Interagency Coordination Framework to ensure strong alignment across the federal government, tackling issues ranging from
transportation and tourism to safety and security. Giuliani has driven significant enhancements to the visa process to ensure World Cup fans from around the world can come to the United States and enjoy the tournament, as well as ensure the 11 U.S. Host Cities have federal funding to support critical security preparations and activities.

With unique experience in both the public and private sectors, Giuliani has played pivotal roles in shaping political discourse and public policy at the highest level of American government. From 2017 to 2019, Andrew served as Associate Director of the Office of Public Liaison at the White House, where he worked closely with key stakeholders, including business leaders, advocacy groups, and community organizations, to foster productive relationships between the government and the American people. His success in this
role led to his promotion in 2019, when he became Special Assistant to the President until 2021. In this role, he interacted daily with President Trump, Cabinet members, and senior staff, and was instrumental in driving policy initiatives, strategic communications, and shaping the administration’s outreach efforts.

Andrew ran for office as the Republican candidate for governor of New York, where he focused on issues like job creation, law and order, and reducing government overreach. The experience solidified his reputation as a tireless advocate for conservative values and effective governance. In addition to his political career, Giuliani has been a prominent voice in media. From 2022 to 2024, he hosted his own program on WABC Radio, where he engaged listeners with insightful commentary on current events, politics, and culture. Andrew was also a host on Newsmax TV between his work at The White House and his run for governor of New York in 2021. His ability to connect with a wide audience earned him a strong following and reinforced his status as a trusted commentator on political matters.

A dedicated supporter of President Trump, Giuliani first volunteered on the Trump campaign in 2016 and later became a campaign surrogate in 2024, advocating for the President’s policies and vision for America. With a deep understanding of both the political and media landscapes, he continues to be an influential figure in American politics, advocating for conservative principles and the values that have shaped his career.
