## Resource

FIFA President Gianni Infantino confirms President Trump will join him at the 2026 World Cup final trophy ceremony in New York — a long-standing tradition for the host nation’s leader. Though Trump hasn’t attended any matches yet, he’s been in regular contact with Infantino, even discussing a red card incident that was later rescinded. Trump’s first in-person appearance is expected at the July 19 final, where he’ll co-present the trophy with Infantino — not as a favor, but as protocol. Despite the US team’s elimination, the event promises to be a high-profile moment, with both leaders set to enjoy the game and uphold the ceremony’s tradition.
