FIFA opened the door for him — and Trump gladly walked through it. ⚽🏆
The president of the United States has official authorization to go up to the podium, present the trophy, and remain alongside the champions during the 2026 World Cup final. A privilege that no head of state had ever had before under this protocol, and that FIFA granted him by breaking its own rules.
It is not the first time. At the 2025 Club World Cup, Trump already inserted himself into Chelsea’s most special moment: lifting the trophy. The images of the players trying to celebrate with a president standing in the middle of the podium went around the world. 😬 Now that scene could be repeated, but on football’s biggest stage. Did FIFA do the right thing by authorizing this? 🔥
