New York: US President Donald Trump attended the FIFA Club World Cup final between Chelsea and Paris Saint Germain that took place at the MetLife Stadium on Monday (IST) and hailed the great work that was being done by his friend and FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
The FIFA Club World Cup was just the start of the footballing takeover in the Americas, with the 2026 FIFA Club World Cup set to be co-hosted by the USA, Canada and Mexico.
“It was a little bit of an upset, I guess you would say but it was a great, great match, very well played, and a tremendous crowd.
“It’s a big thing and Gianni (Infantino) is a good friend of mine, he has done such a great job with soccer, or as they call football. While we were flying over the stadium, we saw it was packed, and there were lines with people waiting to get in,” Trump said to DAZN.
Trump was booed loudly multiple times by the 81,118 fans at MetLife Stadium when he walked on the field for the postgame festivities. IANS
