Wasserman represents several English Premier League players, including Steven Gerrard and Michael Owen, and brokered the £100-million naming rights deal for Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium.
“Due to its global reach and appeal, soccer has an unparalleled ability to embrace and connect fans from around the world, and I am truly honoured to join esteemed colleagues in efforts to return the World Cup to the US at a time when the sport can realise great benefits from our support,” said Wasserman.
The US bid committee also recently welcomed Douglas Band, counsellor to former president Bill Clinton, as a member of its board of directors.
