Trump attended the match, where Chelsea defeated Paris Saint-Germain 3-0, and joined Infantino on the field to present the trophy.
Infantino announced on June 23 that Trump will help present the World Cup trophy to the winner of the final on July 19 at MetLife Stadium. Fifty members of the European Parliament sent FIFA a letter Monday urging the organization to address an ethics complaint over Infantino's decision to award Trump the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize in December 2025.
The lawmakers called on FIFA to demonstrate its commitment to political neutrality, transparency, and accountability, and asked the FIFA Ethics Committee to act with speed and sincerity.
Trump's disclosure also listed 10 Super Bowl tickets valued at $50,000, 10 U.S. Open tennis tickets valued at $25,000, and Ryder Cup tickets valued at $11,250. The filing showed nearly $120,000 in sports tickets from political allies, team owners, sponsors, and sports executives.
FIFA has opened office space in Trump Tower in New York City. Infantino has appeared with Trump at the White House, at FIFA events, and at the World Cup draw. A court later ordered the president's name removed from the Kennedy Center after it was renamed the Trump Kennedy Center.
