President Donald Trump will be in attendance for the FIFA Club World Cup final on Sunday, July 13.
Trump told reporters on Tuesday, July 8 that he planned to go to the match at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
The president was previously invited by FIFA president Gianni Infantino to attend the final during the organization’s visit to the White House in March, where Trump was given a ‘key’ to the tournament’s trophy.

Trump has been frequently attending sporting events since his term began in January, including the Super Bowl, the Daytona 500 and UFC matches.
Meanwhile, Trump and Infantino have publicized a budding friendship.
Infantino has made several trips to the White House, while FIFA opened a new office inside Trump Tower in New York City this week.
“FIFA (is) a global organization (and) to be global, you have to be local, you have to be everywhere, so we have to be in New York – not just for the FIFA Club World Cup this year and the FIFA World Cup next year – we have to be in New York as well when it comes to where our offices are based,” Infantino said during an event at the New York office on July 7.
