The most influential American in world soccer, U.S. Soccer president and FIFA Council member Sunil Gulati, gives a rare wide-ranging one-on-one interview with Grant in his Columbia University office. Among the topics: Why he voted to expand the men's World Cup to 48 teams, the status of labor talks with the USWNT, his opinion of President Trump's travel ban, whether U.S. soccer is doing enough in player development and including minorities, the U.S.'s potential World Cup '26 bid and whether the U.S. would consider boycotting the World Cups in Russia and Qatar.
