US President Donald Trump is set to attend the final match of the FIFA World Cup 2026, which will take place on July 19 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The final will feature a highly anticipated contest between Spain and Argentina.
This event holds special significance as the United States co-hosts the tournament alongside Canada and Mexico. Trump has played an active role in the preparations for the World Cup, having established a White House task force dedicated to coordinating efforts related to the event.
In a notable development, FIFA President Gianni Infantino confirmed that Trump will not only attend the final but will also participate in the trophy presentation ceremony alongside FIFA officials following the match.
The 2026 World Cup is set to be the largest ever, with matches hosted across 16 cities spanning the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The United States will host the majority of the games, including the final in the New York-New Jersey metropolitan area.
Trump previously appeared at the FIFA Club World Cup final in 2025, also held at MetLife Stadium, where he took part in the post-match ceremony with FIFA representatives.
The upcoming final will see defending champions Argentina, led by Lionel Messi, face off against Spain in what promises to be a thrilling encounter. Trump is expected to join global football leaders and dignitaries at this landmark event.
