The World Cup This year is being held in the US and in the big final of the FIFA event will be “present” and the president of the United States, Donald Trump.
The incident was confirmed by Donald Trump himself during a cabinet meeting, where he said he would attend the final of the World Cup Club on Sunday (13/7/25) at the East Rutherford in New Jersey.
The expanded tournament, which includes several of the world’s top teams, is widely regarded as a “rehearsal” for the 2026 World Cup, which will be jointly hosted in the United States, Canada and Mexico, with a record of 48 national teams. The World Cup final on Sunday (13/7) at the Metlife Stadium will act as a “rehearsal” of next year’s final, as the NFL’s New York Giants stadium will also host the Mundial 2026 final.
FIFA had already transferred its legal section to Miami, where all employees involved in the operational implementation of the World Cup of Clubs, which is currently currently in the US, as well as the Mundial 2026, are also working.
“I’ll go to the race,” Trump told reporters. The news came shortly after FIFA’s announcement, Janny Infantino, to open the world football federation office in the “Trump Pyrgos”, further enhancing its presence on US territory a year before the Mundial 2026 in the United States.
“FIFA is a global organization and, in order to be global, it must have a local presence, everywhere. We must therefore be present in New York, not only for the World Cup this year and the World Cup of the year, but also for our offices, “FIFA President Gianni Infantino said, according to the Federation’s announcement.
“We have received huge support from the government and the president through the White House team for the World Cup (this year) and the FIFA World Cup of the year,” Infantino said.
At the same time, FIFA has announced that the club’s World Cup trophy will be exposed to the Trump Pyrgos from Tuesday to Saturday, on the eve of the final.
Trump has not avoided sports headlamps during his second term, as he became the first active president to attend Super Bowl in February, and in May announced from the Oval Office that Washington would host the 2027 NFL Draft.
However, its strict migration policy and the ban on entering citizens from 12 countries have caused concerns ahead of the 2026 World Cup, although Infantino has given assurances that the US will welcome the world to the top football event.
A memorandum secured by Reuters last month showed that the Trump government is considering expanding travel restrictions significantly, possibly banning the entry of citizens from an additional 36 US countries.
