Fifa president Gianni Infantino confirmed that Donald Trump will attend the World Cup final and help present the trophy to the winning team. While the tournament began on 11 June across Canada, Mexico, and the United States, Trump has not attended any matches yet. He might appear before the final match on 19 July.

Met Life Stadium in New Jersey hosts the final, and the United States is hosting 78 of the 104 matches. Andrew Giuliani, the White House World Cup task force executive director, attributed Trump's absence from earlier games to a busy schedule. Trump recently attended an NBA Finals game where the New York Knicks lost 111-115 to the San Antonio Spurs.

Past trophy presentations have proven awkward for the president. During a Club World Cup event at Met Life Stadium, Reece James noted that Trump stayed on the podium longer than expected. This caused confusion for the Chelsea players who believed he would exit the stage immediately after handing over the prize. This event marks his return to Met Life Stadium.

Infantino described himself as a close friend of the president, telling Fox that the two are together all the time. This relationship ensures the US president will be a central figure during the tournament's conclusion. The final serves as the climax of a massive joint hosting effort between three North American nations.
