Like Jimmy Butler wearing number 10 in relation to Neymar or a Kevin Durant investing in PSGThe ties between the NBA and soccer are getting closer and closer and in the end we are not surprised to learn that FIFA has chosen Luka Doncic as one of the ambassadors for the 2026 World Cup.
A former Real Madrid fan, the Lakers leader has more accurately been named “the official 2026 World Cup Community Ambassador for the City of Los Angeles.” “The World Cup is the biggest sporting event there is. I’ve always watched football since I was a child. It’s a real part of my life.” reacted the Slovenian. “Soccer is becoming increasingly popular in the United States, especially here in LA. With this diversity, it’s an ideal city to host the World Cup.”
Doncic thus joined Magic Johnson, Eval Longoria and Snoop Dogg as ambassadors for the World Cup in Los Angeles, a competition that will first bring together 48 national teams, jointly organized by the USA, Mexico and Canada, with matches in 16 cities across the continent, as well as New York, Miami, Dallas, Toronto and Mexico.
