The FIFA World Cup final features Spain against Argentina at the New York/New Jersey Stadium. Multiple outlets report that U.S. President Donald Trump will present the FIFA World Cup trophy to the winning team after the match. The reports also state that the victorious team will not be allowed to keep the original trophy. Instead, FIFA rules described across the sources indicate that the trophy is presented to the champions during the event, but the team cannot retain it permanently.
While the outlets differ slightly in wording, they align on the key details: the matchup is Spain vs Argentina in Sunday’s final, the trophy presentation is carried out by U.S. President Trump, and the trophy does not become the property of the winning team. The trophy’s handling and ownership limitations reflect FIFA’s regulations for the World Cup trophy, even as the winning team is recognized with the ceremonial presentation following the final.
