President Barack Obama says FIFA made the "wrong decision" in awarding the 2022 World Cup to Qatar over the United States.
The U.S. Soccer Federation spent millions of dollars on its bid. Former President Bill Clinton was highly involved in the process and participated in the closing presentation.
Those pushing the American bid hoped that bringing the World Cup back to the United States for the first time since 1994 would boost the slow but steady growth of soccer in the country.
Obama spoke briefly as he headed to a meeting with newly elected
governors at the Blair House.
