It's unclear whether he was referring to the 2020 or 2024 U.S. election during a meeting he had with the FIFA president.

Regardless of context, he did say those words in that order.

    they said, ‘Can you imagine? I’m [you’re] not going to be president [for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics]. And that’s too bad.’ And what happened is, they rigged the election [in 2020], and I became president [again in 2024]

    Absolutely referring to 2020 here. No doubt whatsoever.

    (To be clear, claims of 2020 fraud are bullshit… But so are claims of 2024 fraud)
