On Tuesday, July 8th, prior to the FIFA Club World Cup final, FIFA President Gianni Infantino, Eric Trump, son of President Trump, and former Brazilian footballer Ronaldo unveiled the Club World Cup trophy at the Trump Tower in New York.
The three announced that the Club World Cup trophy will be on display at the Trump Tower until the final on Sunday, July 13th in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Infantino took to Instagram that day, expressing his gratitude to President Donald Trump for his support of the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, saying it will unite the world in peace, happiness, and joy.
He added, “New York will become the capital of world football this week, where we will crown the only official international club world champion; next year we will host the FIFA World Cup in New York, serving our football with this global metropolis. I feel honored!”
The day before, he posted on Instagram: “This is what FIFA wants to do, unite the world and our motto for this Club World Cup is ‘Unite for Peace.’ In this turbulent time, we need peace, and we are working towards that direction.”
The White House has been preparing for the World Cup co-hosted with Mexico and Canada, establishing a special task force for this major event in March.
The Club World Cup is an international football tournament outside the World Cup, consisting of champions from FIFA’s six continental leagues, along with the host country’s representative. It follows the same format as the FIFA World Cup and is held every four years.
The 2025 Club World Cup final will take place on July 13th at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, expanding to a 32-team competition for the first time. According to Sports Illustrated, the final will kick off at 3 p.m. Eastern Time.
A senior government official told NBC News that President Trump is expected to attend this highly anticipated final.
