Donald Trump to Attend FIFA Club World Cup Final in the United States
MIAMI, USA – Former U.S. President Donald Trump is set to attend the FIFA Club World Cup final this weekend, sources close to the event confirmed on Saturday. The high-profile match, which concludes the first edition of the expanded Club World Cup, is taking place in the United States for the first time.
Trump’s appearance adds further political and media attention to an already globally-watched event, where Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea are set to battle for the title.
While no official statement has been released by Trump’s office, insiders suggest his attendance is part of a broader effort to align himself with major global sporting events ahead of the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Trump has previously attended high-stakes sporting fixtures, including UFC and NFL games, often using such appearances to bolster his public profile.
The Club World Cup final, being hosted in Miami, has already drawn notable international figures, celebrities, and athletes, reflecting FIFA’s ambition to globalize the tournament and cement its place in the international sports calendar.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino and senior executives are also expected to be in attendance, alongside other global dignitaries.
Security around the stadium has been significantly increased in anticipation of Trump’s visit, with coordination between local law enforcement, the U.S. Secret Service, and private event security teams.
This year’s Club World Cup has drawn more than 2.5 million fans over the course of the tournament and has stirred debate over scheduling, climate concerns, and the dominance of European clubs. Nevertheless, Trump’s presence underscores the tournament’s growing prominence on the world stage.
