Trump made the revelations in his Tuesday cabinet meeting at the White House, a day after FIFA President Gianni Infantino unveiled the organisation\u2019s new offices in Trump Tower. The offices will also house the Club World Cup trophy until the tournament\u2019s conclusion.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll be going to the game,\u201d Trump told reporters after he was asked if he would be attending the final in East Rutherford, New Jersey. <\/p>\n

Earlier, Infantino praised the cooperation received from U.S. leadership: \u201cWe\u2019ve had tremendous support from the government, the President, and the White House team working on the current FIFA Club World Cup as well as next year\u2019s FIFA World Cup.\u201d<\/p>\n

President Trump, whose tower has 58 floors, has long expressed a strong interest in sports and made headlines in February when he became the first sitting U.S. president to attend a Super Bowl game.<\/p>\n

The FIFA Club World Cup, featuring 32 teams from around the globe, is doubling as a major test event ahead of the expanded 2026 FIFA World Cup, which the United States will co-host with Canada and Mexico. The 2026 tournament will see participation grow to 48 national teams, making it the largest World Cup in history.<\/p>\n

MetLife Stadium, home to the NFL\u2019s New York Jets and New York Giants, will host both the upcoming Club World Cup final and the 2026 World Cup final.<\/p>\n
