The President of the United States of America (USA), Donald Trump, has said that the main version of the FIFA Club World Cup trophy will be kept at the Oval Office.
According to him, officials from FIFA have assured him that the trophy can be kept at the office, as long as he wants, to celebrate the country’s hosting of the tournament.
The president also disclosed that, following the agreement, FIFA promised to produce a different version of the trophy which was reportedly presented to Chelsea after emerging victorious.
“I said, ‘When are you going to pick up the trophy?’ [They said] ‘We’re never going to pick it up. You can have it forever in the Oval Office. We [FIFA] are making a new one.’
“And they actually made a new one. So, that was quite exciting but it is in the Oval [Office] right now,” he said in an interview with official Club World Cup broadcaster DAZN on July 12, 2025.
Trump commended FIFA President Gianni Infantino for taking the Club World Cup and the 2026 Men’s World Cup to the US despite the challenges.
“It’s about unity. It’s about everybody getting together and a lot of love between countries. I guess this is probably the most international sport, so it can really bring the world together,” he added.
Chelsea thrashed Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 to clinch the first-ever FIFA Club World Cup trohpy.
