During this World Cup, Ibrahimovic joined Fox Sports' World Cup commentary team, partnering with football legend Henry to commentate on World Cup matches this summer. He continued to make surprising statements on the program, claiming he would become President of the United States in a month.

The two frequently joked about former USMNT player Alexi Lalas, creating many humorous and memorable moments. In front of millions of viewers, Ibrahimovic also fully displayed his confident and flamboyant personality.

On Saturday, Ibrahimovic received a "promotion" when Fox broadcast a live preview of Portugal's final group stage match against Colombia.

Presenter Rebecca Lowe introduced the segment in a playful tone, saying: "This is complete chaos now—Zlatan has just taken over as host."

The former Swedish international sat at the host's desk, joking that his promotion at the TV station was remarkably fast, and his next goal was to run for President of the United States.

"A temporary replacement? I'm the legitimate host." Lowe said he was only filling in, and Ibrahimovic immediately disagreed.

"I became employee of the month after one week of work, got promoted to host after two weeks, and now this show is mine."

Like all featured hosts, Ibrahimovic introduced commentators Henry, Lowe, and Lalas one by one to join the discussion, and finally signed off in style.

"In one more month, I'll be President of the United States," he said remarkably.

This hilarious studio clip quickly went viral after being posted on social media, garnering nearly one million views in 12 hours.

This wasn't the first time Ibrahimovic joked about running for president. Back in 2018, when playing for LA Galaxy, he gave a viral interview claiming that if he had arrived in MLS ten years earlier, he would already be sitting in the presidential chair.

When asked by a reporter how he would transform the atmosphere of American football, Ibrahimovic responded: "I don't know if I changed anything here—I just do my job. Americans should be grateful I didn't come ten years ago, otherwise I would be President of the United States right now."
