President Donald Trump will be at MetLife Stadium for the World Cup Final next month, and he’ll be there in a big way.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino told “Fox & Friends” in studio on Tuesday that he and Trump will deliver the FIFA World Cup trophy to the winning team’s captain on the field.
“We will be together with the president enjoying the final and handing the trophy to the winner, of course, together,” Infantino said.

Trump and Infantino did the same last year for the FIFA Club World Cup Final, also at the New Jersey stadium, when Chelsea defeated Paris Saint-Germain 3-0. The appearance came one year after an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania.
The president participated in the trophy presentation and handed out awards to the players and referees after Chelsea won the match. Trump remained on stage for the celebration, causing some confusion.
“I knew he was going to be here, but I didn’t know he was going to be on the stand when we lifted the trophy, so I was a bit confused,” Chelsea’s Cole Palmer said after the match.
