Former United States President Donald Trump is expected to attend the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final this Sunday, according to a report by ESPN.
The high-stakes match will be played at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, bringing the curtain down on a month-long football tournament that featured 32 teams from across the globe.
Chelsea FC has already booked their spot in the final after an impressive 2-0 win over Brazil’s Fluminense in Tuesday’s semi-final. The hero of the night was Joao Pedro, who netted both goals to secure the Premier League side’s place in the title decider.
The Blues will now await the outcome of the second semi-final between Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, set to take place on Wednesday night at the same venue.
Trump’s presence at the final adds another layer of buzz to what is already one of the most anticipated matches in world football. Though no official statement has been made by Trump’s camp, ESPN’s sources confirmed his attendance, which could draw additional media and political attention to the event.
Meanwhile, Manchester City, who lifted the trophy in the previous edition, were knocked out earlier in the tournament and will not defend their title this year.
The final promises to be a thrilling clash between European powerhouses, with a historic global audience expected to tune in as football and politics briefly collide on the grand stage.
