Heidi Klum (returning from 2006), Kevin Hart, and Danny Ramirez co-host, with Ramirez interviewing dignitaries; Klum called it an "extraordinary" honor for the expanded event, while Ramirez highlighted his US-Mexican roots.

"To be hosting the final draw again, after having been involved in this show 20 years ago in my home country, is truly extraordinary," said Klum.

"As someone who grew up playing football, getting to co-host the draw and meet and speak with World Cup legends at such a high-profile event is a dream. With this tournament coming to the United States, where I was born, and Mexico, where some of my roots lie, it is even more special - and I couldn't be more excited to be part of this show," said Ramirez.
