President Donald Trump is expected to present the World Cup trophy after Sunday\u2019s final match between Argentina and Spain.<\/p>\n

Trump is set to attend the match at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis attendance will cap what has been the most watched, most secure and most successful World Cup in American history,\u201d White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Thursday, calling it a \u201cfitting conclusion\u201d to the tournament.<\/p>\n

Trump is also set to attend a FIFA reception at Trump Tower in New York City on Friday.<\/p>\n

The White House has not publicly confirmed Trump will present the trophy Sunday. FIFA President Gianni Infantino has said \u201cthe plan\u201d is for Trump to present the trophy, noting the precedent set by past host countries, such as Qatar in 2022.<\/p>

The emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, joined Infantino to award the trophy that year.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s involvement in the World Cup \u2014 including his intervention<\/a> after American star Folarin Balogun was briefly suspended \u2014 has drawn a mixed reaction from American soccer fans and criticism from foreign fans.<\/p>\n
