President Donald Trump will attend the 2026 FIFA World Cup final on July 19 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, the White House has confirmed. FIFA President Gianni Infantino made the announcement, adding that Trump will participate in the ceremonial presentation of the trophy to the winning team.
The FIFA-Trump Tower connection
FIFA has been maintaining office space inside Trump Tower as part of its World Cup preparations. Infantino gifted Trump 10 tickets valued at $15,000 for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final. Trump attended that match, making it a precursor to his now-confirmed appearance at the main event next month.
Trump hasn’t attended any other matches during the 2026 tournament, which is being jointly hosted by the US, Canada, and Mexico. During his presidency, Trump created a federal support task force specifically designed to back the US bid to host the World Cup. The tournament coincides with the 250th anniversary of the United States.
