White House Confirms Trump Will Attend Sunday's World Cup Final

White House Confirms Trump Will Attend Sunday's World Cup Final

Karoline Leavitt announced the visit July 16, his only match of the tournament, four days before kickoff.

  • Spain faces Argentina at MetLife Stadium, kickoff 3 p.m. ET Sunday, July 20.
  • Trump skipped every match this tournament; Friday he visits FIFA's Trump Tower reception first.
  • FIFA President Gianni Infantino will jointly present the trophy alongside Trump to the winner.

Why it matters: A president who shares FIFA's trophy podium borrows the crowd's legitimacy, not the reverse.
