“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.
The news of the president’s planned attendance at the tournament final came a day after FIFA announced it would open an office inside Trump Tower in Manhattan and that the Club World trophy would be on display inside the building 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.

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 1752026880 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.
