Donald Trump will be present at the final of the 2026 World Cup, between Spain and Argentina, according to the White House / The American president is expected to present the trophy alongside FIFA president, Gianni Infantino.

The White House announced that American President Donald Trump will attend the final of the 2026 World Cup, scheduled for Sunday at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. This competition, organized in collaboration with Canada and Mexico, will feature the teams of Spain and Argentina in the final.

Although Trump did not attend the previous matches, his presence at the final is considered a special moment, according to White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt. Argentine President Javier Milei announced that he will not be present for superstitious reasons.

Trump is expected to present the winner's trophy alongside FIFA chief Gianni Infantino, as FIFA has allowed him to join the winners on the podium, although the usual protocol limits this right to the captain of the winning team.
