FIFA President Infantino and U.S. President Trump to Attend 2026 World Cup Final TogetherPreviousNext

FIFA President Gianni Infantino confirmed that he and U.S. President Donald Trump will attend the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final together, where they will watch the match and jointly present the trophy to the winning team. FIFA has no objection to Trump handing the trophy directly to the captain and remaining on the podium during celebrations. Officials from Mexico and Canada are also expected at the closing ceremony. Trump missed the USMNT's opening match but is expected at the final on July 19 at MetLife Stadium.
