Trump, Sanchez to attend Argentina-Spain World Cup final
What's new: FIFA plans winner rings for the champions, and Trump is set to present the trophy at MetLife Stadium.
Donald Trump and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez are expected at Sunday’s World Cup final between Argentina and Spain at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. FIFA also plans to give 30 winner rings to the champions, borrowing a tradition more common in US sports, while another 1,996 rings will be sold to fans. Trump is expected to present the trophy after skipping the tournament’s first 102 matches, including all US games. His ties with FIFA president Gianni Infantino have drawn scrutiny after Trump sought a review of Folarin Balogun’s red card, and Balogun’s automatic suspension was later lifted before the United States lost 4-1 to Belgium.
