Trump to present World Cup trophy at final, FIFA president says
President Donald Trump will present the World Cup trophy at the final match on July 19 in New Jersey, FIFA President Gianni Infantino said Monday.
“We will be together with the president enjoying the final and handing the trophy to the winner, of course, together,” Infantino said during an appearance on “Fox & Friends.”
“We are together all the time,” he said.
Trump, who is friends with Infantino, presented the FIFA Club World Cup to Chelsea last year after the club defeated Paris Saint-Germain 3-0. At the time, Trump broke with tradition by lingering around with the team on stage after awarding the trophy, despite Infantino’s apparent attempts to direct the president away so the players could celebrate.
