Trump gets his first World Cup final ticket

Row 1, seat 1, ticket no. 45/47, is the first symbolic ticket of the World Cup, which FIFA President Gianni Infantino gifted to US President Donald Trump for the World Cup final match on July 19, 2026.

Gianni Infantino brought President Trump the legendary trophy of this competition, which will take place in the USA, but also with matches in Canada and Mexico.

He invited Donald Trump, who seemed very pleased, to receive the trophy.

"Can I keep it?" Donald Trump repeated, noting that the trophy would fit well with the decoration of the Oval Office, which he has adorned with a variety of gold objects.

"It's only for winners, and since you're a winner, you can touch it too," the FIFA head replied.

"It's a beautiful piece of gold," he commented approvingly. He also keeps a Club World Cup trophy in his office.
