WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is set to attend the FIFA Club World Cup final on Sunday, offering a sneak peek at the world’s top soccer tournament that will be hosted in North America next year.

President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump will make their way from their golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, to East Rutherford, a 40-mile (64 kilometers) journey, to watch the final match of the U.S.-hosted tournament between Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea at MetLife Stadium.

Trump’s trip Sunday falls on the first anniversary of the assassination attempt he survived in Butler, Pennsylvania, while campaigning for president.

The president had no public events scheduled to commemorate the date, aside from participating in a pre-recorded Fox News Channel interview with his daughter-in-law Lara Trump, which was broadcast on Saturday night.

Sporting events have made up the bulk of Trump’s trips in the U.S. since taking office this year. In addition to his visit this weekend to the soccer tournament, he’s attended the Super Bowl in New Orleans, the Daytona 500 in Florida, UFC fights in Miami and Newark, New Jersey, and the NCAA wrestling championships in Philadelphia.

The president, who has a warm relationship with FIFA President Gianni Infantino, has said he plans to attend multiple matches of the World Cup tournament next year.
