Former President Donald Trump attended the FIFA World Cup Final at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on July 19, 2026. He was accompanied by his wife, Melania Trump, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
Trump was also pictured with FIFA President Gianni Infantino before the match began. The former president has previously expressed interest in hosting a future World Cup in the United States, separate from joint bids with Mexico and Canada.
Ahead of the event, advocacy groups reportedly distributed red cards to fans. These were intended to be used as a form of protest against Trump and Infantino during the trophy presentation ceremony for the tournament's winner.
