The 2026 FIFA World Cup will end on July 19 as United States President Donald Trump joins FIFA President Gianni Infantino to present the trophy to the winning team after the final. The tournament runs across Canada, the United States and Mexico, and Infantino travels between the host nations to oversee the competition and attend key events.
Infantino speaks to FOX and confirms that he and Trump will take part in the closing ceremony of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
“We will stay together with the President to attend the final and present the trophy to the winner, of course. We will stay together the whole time,” the FIFA president says.
The ceremony will put Donald Trump at the center of one of football’s biggest moments as he joins Infantino on July 19 to crown the new champions. Players and officials will gather for the final match before both leaders lift the trophy presentation stage and close the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
