FIFA President Gianni Infantino says U.S. President Donald Trump will attend the 2026 FIFA World Cup final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on July 19 and take part in the trophy presentation ceremony. Multiple outlets report that Infantino, in public remarks, states he and Trump will present the World Cup trophy to the winning team together after the match. Several reports describe this as a departure from strict protocol or tradition, noting that the regulations do not clearly specify who must hand over the trophy, which leaves room for an unusual but permitted choice of presenters. Other coverage highlights that Trump’s role would be highly visible given his attendance at the final, particularly as the event will crown the champions of the tournament’s first World Cup featuring 48 teams. Taken together, the accounts present Infantino’s announcement as the basis for Trump’s confirmed involvement in the ceremonial handover of the trophy, alongside Infantino, immediately following the final whistle.
