Donald Trump to Present FIFA World Cup Trophy to Winning Team

FIFA has approved President Donald Trump to present the 2026 World Cup trophy to the winning team, deviating from traditional protocol.

Deviation from Standard Protocol

Traditionally, the World Cup trophy is placed on a plinth for the winning captain to collect. Trump's direct involvement marks a significant departure from this practice.

Previous Involvement in Trophy Presentations

In 2025, Trump remained on stage during Chelsea's Club World Cup victory, causing confusion among players. This upcoming involvement raises similar concerns.
