FIFA President Infantino Confirms Trump to Present World Cup Final Trophy

FIFA President Gianni Infantino confirmed plans to include president Donald Trump in the trophy presentation ceremonies at the World Cup Final during an interview with Fox and Friends on Tuesday morning.

"We ‌will be ⁠together ⁠with the president, enjoying the final, and ​handing the trophy to the winner -- of course, together," ​Infantino said.

Asked to clarify that he and Trump would present the trophy ​together at the match on ⁠July 19 ‌in East Rutherford, N.J., ​Infantino ​added: "Of course. We are together all ⁠the time."

Trump notably participated in the ​ceremony at last year's Club ​World Cup final when Chelsea defeated Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 at the same venue.

He remained on stage as Chelsea lifted the trophy. Later, the trophy ‌was spotted in the Oval Office, with Chelsea reportedly having received ​a replica version.

According ​to The ⁠Athletic, citing FIFA sources, Infantino has been aiming to attend as many matches as possible ​at the tournament. So far, that's been up to two a day. Trump has yet to attend any matches in this year's World Cup.
