On 23 Jan 2026 GMT+7, Gianni Infantino, President of the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA), officially confirmed that Donald Trump, President of the United States, will present the prestigious 2026 World Cup trophy to the competition's winner.
Recently, Donald Trump received a peace award from FIFA. Following that, controversy arose when he ordered the arrest of Nicolás Maduro, President of Venezuela, and expressed interest in acquiring Greenland.
Most recently, Gianni Infantino stated, “I believe we live in a world where divisions may occur, but our stance is clearly in support of peace. We know Donald Trump has peace agreements in Gaza, and FIFA fully supports him. The World Cup held in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico will be the greatest celebration of humanity.”
“It’s not just a sports event; it will be the greatest show the world has ever seen. Donald Trump and I will jointly present the World Cup trophy to the winners, and no one else will have the right to touch this trophy. As FIFA President, I am honored to handle this special trophy—it is truly the most distinguished championship trophy in sports.”
