00:00Presidenta, la Copa Mundial de la FIFA 2026 era el evento deportivo más grande de la historia en México.
00:10La historia al convertirse en el único país en albergar tres ediciones del torneo.
00:18¿Qué significado tiene esto para las y los mexicanos?
00:23Bueno, estamos orgullosos, orgullosas de recibir por tercera vez la Copa Mundial.
00:31México es un país extraordinario, bello, mágico y millones visitarán nuestra nación.
00:39Además, quiero decirles que tenemos un pueblo extraordinario, trabajador y algo especial.
00:46Nosotros disfrutamos del juego de pelota desde tiempos ancestrales.
00:50¡Fenomenal! Gracias.
00:53¡Fenomenal!
00:54¡Fenomenal!
00:56For years, Johnny, they've thought soccer or football would be so big, so fast.
01:02And I remember, I shouldn't say this because it was a long time ago, but I remember watching Pelé play on a team called the Cosmos.
01:11Pelé, who is fantastic, as you know, I assume one of the greats.
01:15Oh, yes. Pelé, let's applaud Pelé, please. One of the greatest.
01:18And he scored three goals out there. I said, that man can play.
01:24I was pretty young at that point. And who knew this was going to happen.
01:28But when you look at what has happened to football in the United States, again, soccer in the United States, we seem to never call it that because we have a little bit of a conflict with another thing that's called football.
01:41But when you think about it, shouldn't it really be called? I mean, this is football. There's no question about it. We have to come up with another name for that.
01:49It really doesn't make sense when you think about it. It's really football.
01:55But who would have thought it would have come to a level where you've set your all-time season ticket ratings.
02:03Nobody's ever sold as many tickets. And you're still a long way from that ball being kicked down the field.
02:09So I just want to congratulate you. What an incredible leap this has been. And congratulations to FIFA.
02:16Thank you. Thank you, President.
02:18It is the biggest of deals, Gianni. You know, it's the number one sport for Canadian boys and girls.
02:25Two-thirds of the country watched the last World Cup.
02:31And we are partnered with the United States and Mexico, welcoming the world.
02:36There's more than 200 nationalities in Canada, more than 200 nationalities in FIFA.
02:41The top 48 are coming to North America. It is going to be the biggest deal.
02:46The country will give a nice photo. Excellent. And if I can ask you to come here for another photo so that everyone can see what you have drawn.
