Trump to hand out World Cup trophy after final game in New Jersey: Gianni Infantino
Infantino said FIFA invited Trump to help present the trophy after the final, reflecting their close ties and his role at last year’s Club World Cup.
- On Tuesday, FIFA President Gianni Infantino announced that President Donald Trump will attend the FIFA World Cup Final on July 19 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey to present the trophy to winners.
- Infantino confirmed the plan during a Fox News interview, noting he and the President have forged a close relationship, and Trump previously presented the trophy at last year's Club World Cup final won by Chelsea.
- Trump remained on the podium beside Chelsea captain Reece James during that event, surprising James, though FIFA officials have indicated they have no objection to the President remaining on stage.
- Asked if they would present the award together, Infantino added: "Of course, we are together all the time," confirming the President had already been informed of FIFA's request to present the trophy.
- While Trump did not attend the USMNT's opening victory, organizers confirmed his July 19 appearance, and officials from Mexico and Canada are also expected to attend the closing ceremony.
