President Donald Trump has announced that he will attend the FIFA Club World Cup final at MetLife Stadium this Sunday. He shared this update at the conclusion of his cabinet meeting at the White House on Tuesday.

The tournament, which lasts a month, will conclude on Sunday with a match between Premier League team Chelsea and the victor of Wednesday’s clash between French club Paris Saint-Germain and Spanish giants Real Madrid.

“I’ll be going to the game,” Trump told reporters after he was asked if he would be attending the final in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Trump’s presence at the Club World Cup final was teased on DAZN by on-air personality Emily Austin on Monday.

Trump’s announcement came shortly after FIFA disclosed its plan to open an office in Trump Tower in Manhattan. Additionally, the Club World Cup trophy will be showcased there in the days leading up to Sunday’s final.

Trump was invited to the Club World Cup final by FIFA boss Gianni Infantino in March during a visit to the White House. 

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy told reporters in early June that he had also invited the president to the final, but wasn’t sure if Trump would be able to attend. 

No matter where you are in the world, you can watch the FIFA Club World Cup for free on DAZN. All you need to get started is an email address. No subscription is required, but you will have to make a free account on the streamer to start watching.

DAZN also has premium, paid options available to enhance your viewing experience with HDR picture, Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound, and fewer ads. DAZN Premium plans begin at $19.99/month.

Murphy said he had extended the invite during a phone call with the president about the 2026 World Cup, but “I’m not sure he could come.”

Trump has made several appearances at numerous major sporting events since he took office again earlier this year, including becoming the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl when he made an appearance in New Orleans to see the Eagles topple the Chiefs. 

He also helped the NFL announce that the 2007 draft would be hosted in Washington, D.C.

In June, Vice President JD Vance attended a Club World Cup match in Cincinnati.

Infantino has praised the Trump administration’s support for the Club World Cup and the upcoming 2026 World Cup that’s being jointly hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico. 

“We have received such a big support from the government and from the president with the White House Task Force for the FIFA Club World Cup 1752026959 and for the FIFA World Cup next year,” Infantino said Tuesday. 

The Club World Cup has been viewed as a dry run of sorts for next year’s main event, which will feature 48 national teams an increase from 32. 

MetLife Stadium is slated to host eight matches — including the final — during the 2026 World Cup.
