President Donald Trump will present the FIFA World Cup trophy to the winner of the match between Spain and Argentina this Sunday. This was confirmed by a White House official to Fox News.
Last month, FIFA President Gianni Infantino mentioned on “Fox & Friends” that he and President Trump would hand over the trophy to the captain of the victorious team at the New York/New Jersey Stadium.

Infantino also noted that Trump would attend the match. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt described the president’s participation as “a fitting conclusion to a tournament that showcased America’s ability to host the world on the grandest stage.” Trump previously participated in the FIFA Club World Cup trophy presentation after Chelsea defeated Paris Saint-Germain last summer.
Earlier in the World Cup, Trump intervened in a major controversy, contacting Infantino to request a review of Folarin Balogun’s red card. Balogun was initially suspended for Team USA’s Round of 16 match but was later deemed eligible to play.
