FIFA president Gianni Infantino has confirmed plans to include United States President Donald Trump in the trophy presentation ceremony at the World Cup final. 
“We will be together with the president, enjoying the final, and handing the trophy to the winner  of course, together,” Infantino said during an interview with Fox News on Tuesday morning. 
Asked to clarify that he and Trump would present the trophy together at the match on July 19 in East Rutherford, New Jersey, Infantino added: “Of course. 
We are together all the time.” 
Trump notably participated in the ceremony at last year’s Club World Cup final, when Chelsea defeated Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 at the same venue. 
He remained on stage as Chelsea lifted the trophy. 
Later, the trophy was spotted in the Oval Office, with Chelsea reportedly having received a replica version. 
According to The Athletic, citing FIFA sources, Infantino has been aiming to attend as many matches as possible at the tournament. 
So far, that has been up to two a day. 
Trump has yet to attend any matches in this year’s World Cup.
